In particular the "Elephants' Graveyard" at Drigh Road must be a very sad one for you, Danny. Is this where all the RAF ones in India (then) ended up, i.e. just outside Karachi? Presumably once stripped of props, engines, instruments, radios etc., they then fell to the scrap merchant's axe. At least the Hastings ended up in the main dispersed, as "one off" trainers for various RAF Stations' Fire Sections to practice on and so fulfilling their duty to the very end...
I was at Seletar in 1958 and it was a sorry sight to see 205/209's Sunderlands being broken up for scrap by Chinese contractors as seen here in my photos:
