Research aircraft, second of six built. First flew in August 1951. Delivered to Farnborough in September 1951 and spent 3 years with the RAE engaged in cabin pressurisation and temperature control test work before becoming an engine test bed. Broken up in 1962. The fuselage section was subsequently removed from Farnborough passing through Dunsfold, Rhoose and Woodford before finally being put on display at Newark Air Museum.
