Parts of KB994, and the nose section of KB976 (sold in 1990 to Warbirds of GB, some parts later reported as being sold in 1992 to Kermit Weeks in Florida. The remains of KB994 were sold to Aces High, becoming G-BVBP on 4 August 1993. They sold them in 1997, and they are now in Australia with the Avro Bomber Preservation Association, to be used in the recreation of an Avro Lincoln based on major parts of RF342/G-APRJ. (It seems that KB976 (which became G-BCOH) swapped its front fuselage section with that of KB994 in order to replace the "long nose" then fitted to KB976.)
