From 2 FTS at Ternhill. Carried out an air-sea rescue demonstration as part of the recruiting event on Southend Seafront (see #798148 & #798149). Went tech, necessitating a visit by another 2 FTS example, XP338 "N", from Ternhill with spares. Preserved with the Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum at Flixton.
