Originally a B2, used by A&AEE Boscombe Down for ejector seat trials until it was replaced by WH876. Converted as a U14 drone for the Royal Navy by Shorts in 1960, and operated by 728B NAS for around a year from Hal Far, Malta (coded 593) then stored at Pershore from December 1961. Delivered to Predannack's Royal Navy Fire School on 15 January 1978, it had expired by 1984. This photo is copyright © Chris England, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
