Further to the comments appended to my earlier photo (ID.723001) of this aircraft, it was delivered to Fishburn on -7 September 2021 with the fuselage wearing XE489, code 19 and RAF unit badge (Photo ID.389547). However, a month or so later, all those markings had been removed and it was again awaiting repaint (Photo ID.448636). Since then, it would appear to have gained just a fin flash.

Delivered to the RAF 31 August 1960. Declared non-effective 14 February 1973 and to No.1 SoTT, Halton as 8234M that day. Noted wearing 'XN594' in 1996. To The Standard Public-House -8 July 2005 for restoration. When photographed there, it's only i/d was XN458 under the starboard wing. At that time, poor weather delayed it being painted in its original RAF scheme of silver and dayglo orange and they had all parts needed, including new canopy and windscreens. The instrument panel had been refurbished and all instruments were serviceable. Later to Fishburn on -7 September 2021.

Assembled and awaiting repaint.

First allocated to 1 FTS, Linton-on-Ouse in 1960. De-mobbed 1973. Transferred from The Standard public house, Northallerton to the Fishburn Historic Aviation Centre, Fishburn Airfield for restoration, preservation and static display. Previously carried a maintenance serial of 8234M
