    9Q-CPX

    I saw the bit in Fly Past on 9Q-CPX, and wondered where it could possibly come from?
    Have just checked some slides taken of Goma in which there are numerous pictures of three Brits in a row, all in various stages of being scrapped.
    One is of CPX with nose gear removed and therefore tail in the air, I recall some times it used to sit on its tail depending on the wind direction.
    Circa 1984. The last piece removed from the hulk which by that time consisted only of the centre wing section, was the R/H jacking point from the rear spar to fix CHY, another story.
    Therefore by 1986-1987 there was nothing left of CPX.
