3 of the old 92 Sqdn aircraft were 'disposed of' to RAE Farnborough. They still had a 'bite' though. When the wings were being cut off one of them, some residual fuel vapour ignited causing an explosion which injured the person doing the cutting up.
I was tower controller at the time and my 60 year old assistant was so quick with the crash alarm that the fire service said they heard the klaxon before they heard the bang.
