Withdrawn from flying duties in 1967 and used for several years as an instructional airframe at RNEC Manadon, this Whirlwind was moved to Yeovilton in 1976 with the intention that it be preserved in the FAA Museum. However this never happened and it was scrapped in 1988.

Written off on 9 October 1968 in a forced landing in a field near Weymouth. Although it was repaired at Fleetlands it never flew again, and it was eventually preserved by the Royal Australian Navy Museum in Nowra, NSW, where it has been since April 1994. The Varsity behind is WJ943/S, and must have been a challenge to land on Plymouth's short grass runway! It was struck off charge in 1976, and was burnt on the RAF Valley fire dump.

This was how XK911 had returned after its visit to the Glastonbury festival. The friendly Whirlwind had become a monstrous carnivorous helicopter ;-)

Ground instructional airframe, ex-824 NAS. Roaded in from HMS Daedalus, Lee-on-Solent with the Navy Recruitment Unit. Moving to Fleetlands, it then became the gate guardian at RNAY Almondbank from January 1978 to early 1984. It re-located to the North-East Aircraft Museum, Sunderland in September 1984. Moved to RAF MIllom Museum in October 1996 until 2010. It was then sold and transported in January 2012 through Belgium to Greece. Reported to be in a private yard near Athens in September 2019.
