Quemerford:
How many were stored at Kemble after RAF service?
You would need to specify a date to get an accurate answer to that question. For example, I can tell you for sure that on 25 February 1977, nine aircraft were at Kemble (I was flying XR366 from Brize that day. I would imagine that all ten aircraft visited Kemble at one point or another. I have an air to ground photograph of seven aircraft parked just north of the 26 threshold at Kemble (marked as Air Salvage Intl on Google Earth). (I apologise but I can't remember where I got the photograph from). It would be tempting to assume that the three missing aircraft are the three that we had at Manston but that would be pure speculation.
As to how exactly Silly Old Hector got to Australia, you would probably have to find someone who flew for Heavylift. I know that she did a runner from Prestwick and was on the other side of the Pond before the CAA wakened up. The whole story would make a great yarn one day
