On the fire dump as A2616 and previously used by the School of Aircraft Handing at Culdrose as SAH-11. The well charred fuselage of Gannet AS1 XA363/A2528 lies alongside. (The extremely well charred cockpit section in front of XN651 is all that remained of DH.110 XF828, at one time used by the School of Aircraft Handling as A2500. It was then used for fire practice until it finally expired in 1978. A sad end for an aircraft that really should have gone to the FAA museum or the RAF Museum at Cosford.)

One of nine Kestrel development aircraft built in 1964/5 for evaluation, and used by the Tri-partite Kestrel Evaluation Squadron at RAF West Raynham in 1965. It was then used for trials at RAE Bedford and A&AEE Boscombe Down, where it was damaged beyond repair in a landing accident on 1 March 1967. It spent some time with RNEC Manadon for ground instruction, where the wings from XS696 were fitted. It moved to the School of Aircraft Handling at Culdrose in April 1978, and was eventually moved to the RAF Museum Cosford in November 2001, where it is now on display.
