Notes

WH453 previously grounded as a spares source at Llanbedr is now being restored back to its original F8 configuration by the Bentwaters Aviation Society. They took delivery of the aircraft in January 2005.

Thanks to David Winterbottom for the updated picture of WS726 at Royton. They have done a fantastic job restoring and repainting the aircraft which was completed in December 2006. WS774 & WL360 have also left the UK and are now to be found at the Malta Air Museum, WL360 will require significant restoration but WS774 will probably go immediately on display (May 2007).

Many thanks to Rob Cottrell and Alan Barley for many of the above images. The mystery of WK914 has now been solved as it has been aquired by the Hooton Park Trust from Hunter Aviation where it wears the markings of WF714.
