When XD183, a Whirlwind, crashed in 1970 during the rundown of RAF Changi in Singapore the shortages on the Hercules, Shackleton and both Whirwind Squadrons were written off. They included 2 (two) Griffon engines and a Hercules nosewheel assembly.

I know that because I was 183's inventory holder and I had to sign all the disposal chits.

Strangely enough, even though I was not flying it, all my V&A flying clothing went with it too.
