I was at CTTS Sealand as an apprentice from 88-92. The glider hangar behind the school contained lots of Canberra wings either in crates or in stands. They were scrapped c1990. I never saw a cockpit. The hangar also contained many bits of VC-10. There was a few tailplanes (bright British Aiways red). They were almost as big as the Canberra wings.
The vampire in the hangar was Jim Kerr’s. XE920. He rebuilt it before moving it to Hawarden and then Swansea. He was my Apprentice master for a time. He was sadly killed in another vampire as a passenger in Biggin Hill when it got caught on the wake of another aircraft.
The aircraft is now in the US.
Any hint of the school or hangars have long since been demolished .
