    Here is a shot taken quite a bit before she was broken up. Shown carrying a training Blue Steel missile. I do not know where this was taken but I am sure it is not Wittering.

    Just to resurrect this thread again here are a couple of pictures of Firebrand TF4 EK739. I believe that this aircraft was retained by Blackburn but it doesnot say that in my Putnams. I suspect they were taken in 1946 does anyone know where?

    Thanks for that Albert. I do not know why I said Jet Provost, yet another of the almost continuous “Senior moments”

    I believe 11 nimrods were converted to AEW3 airframes.

    XV259 BU Abingdon nose is at Solway Museum
    XV261 BU Lyneham
    XV262 BU Abingdon
    XV263 BU Finningley nose is at Warton
    XZ280 BU Abingdon
    XZ281 BU Abingdon
    XZ282 BU Elgin
    XZ283 BU Abingdon
    XZ285 BU Abingdon
    XZ286 BU Abingdon rear fuselage at Kinloss
    XZ287 is at Stafford

    As for appearing at air shows, it appeared at Farnboro no doubt to show off our superb AEW aircraft.

    I do not know where I picked up GA11 for the Hunter. So that could well be wrong. I am hoping to move house and most of my reference material has been packed away. However I see that on 12/11/62 XF365 became A2561 an instructional airframe for the RN. Perhaps the pic was taken at a show during that time and it had not been given its new marks?

    Allan,

    You are quite right. I do not know how I mixed it up with another aircraft. WD132 perished on the fire dump at Watton.
