Huh bleedin typical, though that could be a good sign, give it 2yrs & they'll be installing new ones at our expense !

IIRC the Runway surface is very hard & abrasive(High Friction) at Llanbedr & the Airfield manuals used to warn of encountering excessive breaking action & tire wear etc..

Edited to say that I now know what happened to the remaining Non-Flying Airframes:-

WH543 - Meteor - Static display at Bentwaters museum

WH734 - Canberra - Scrapped

WH887 - Canberra - Scrapped

WK128 - Canberra - Scrapped

XV435 - Phantom - Scrapped
