Representing MLD Sea Hawk FGA.50 131, this is actually a hybrid aircraft based on WM983 but with the rear fuselage of XE489 (the one-time Southend museum aircraft now at Charlwood). Some sources attribute this frame as primarily XE489 but what is certain is that it is composed of parts from more than one Sea Hawk and that 131 (which was ex XL314) was scrapped many years ago.
