Chairborne,

"Elsewhere, I heard a rumour that the two airframes were to be reclaimed to keep 39 Sqn's aircraft in the air; alas, they would be cut=up on site for parts reclamation."

39's trusty steeds are PR.9s and T.4s. The T.4's could benefit from some bits from the Llanbedr airframes, but not much - small items, jacks, etc. As I heard it, it's the Avons the RAF logistics (at Wyton) want for the T.4s, but there seems to be some inter-departmental thing going on preventing an easy transfer.
