It was , in fact, that of an Ashton and has ended up with one of the museums further North.
Like yourself I initially thought ( hoped ) it might be of the Apollo.
Over by Western Squadron was the scrap dump which had bits of TSR2s ,Javelins, Dragonfly Rotor blades a Valiant nose etc.
Also was a Vampire nose section half buried. The nosewheel undercarriage leg assembly from that now resides in the FAAM's ( actually Science Museum's) first deck landing Vampire at Yeovilton. Great fun getting it out.
