Thanks for the pics Mark12… it never ceases to amaze me that a decision was never made to preserve at least one of every type of service aircraft by the armed forces. Its clear that the 50’s, 60’s and even the 70’s offered opportunities to ensure a survivor was preserved, even in a dismantled state.
I wonder if the RAF museum, or anyone else for that matter, has approached the owner of the Brigand at Kemble and offered to buy it? Perhaps they have and have been turned away.. but maybe only then could a concerted effort be made to preserve and restore it, and gather together as much as possible of what there is still surviving.. just as DC is doing with the Hornet.?!
