It’s interesting to note that the Hinkler Ibis – or the remains thereof – appear in the list. The list is dated August 1959, the year that the Ibis was scrapped at Lee-on-Solent. So it may be that this occurred between compilation and publication of the list or that the list was its valedictory mention! Does anyone know exactly when and how it was scrapped? At the back of my mind something suggests that it was simply burnt. The thread on this forum (http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?94550-Hinkler-Ibis), relating to the Ibis, is silent.
AA, found this: “Unfortunately, the original aircraft was later destroyed – burnt in a bonfire!”
