According to three locals, it's still there. But its demise is imminent according to one of them. The XH558 enthusiasts have the first right on any usable part on it. According to another source, XM603 have been used to test spar life as part of BAE Systems support of the XH558 project. I suspect this latter test is destructible and the frame is damaged beyond repair due to this.


This photo was taken almost four years ago, and already at that time there were clear indications that the bird was in demise. Atom white skin colour and rust isn't the best combination.
