To where I am not sure to where it ended up.
As alluded to by Steve, XF703 remained intact from its arrival at Henlow in September 1971 until July 1975.
If it was subsequently removed on a transporter it would be reasonable to assume that it was no longer complete at that point, hence presumably the references to it having been scrapped while at Henlow.
