Photo Comment

One of the 13 aircraft assembled on the eastern boundary at Southend for the nascent British Historic Aircraft Museum. Arrived from Biggin Hill in 1966. By April 1970 it had acquired a top turret and been painted in RAF colours as "HD368". Sadly, this museum came to nought but was resurrected as the Historic Aircraft Museum (Southend) in 1972 with N9089Z passing into its care.
