Henry, Its history is listed as,

Seventeenth order for 1884 Mk IX dated 19-4-44. Built as Mk IX/XVI between Dec 44 and June 45. Total 1053 built Castle Bromwich.

Mk XVI TE400 Issued to No 9 Maintenance Unit 16-6-45, 501 Sqdn 7-5-48, 612 Sqdn 20-5-49, Radio School Middle Wallop 12-2-52, Non Effective Stock (Scrap) 14-12-54 to 7240M 28-9-55

7240M refers to a maintenance airframe I understand. Would be interesting to know what happened to it given the history above ends at 28-9-55 and you took the photo in 57.
