Yes - I believe G-BDIT was scrapped when Doug Arnold sold Blackbushe. I think his original plan was to convert BDIT into a restaurant, but it obviously never came to anything. Apparently the Comet had to be moved from it's original parking position near to a main road as several accidents were caused by startled drivers.....
There are 2 other ex. Dan Air Comet 4C's that have been preserved:
G-BDIX - at East Fortune in Scotland
G-BDIW - at HermesKeil, Germany.
And the Science Museum at Wroughton has '4B' G-APYD (the only 4b to be preserved).
