Yes she is being rejigged as it were... bit of a waste in my opinion and being an anorak (so it would appear) the Herc was the W.2 not the 1...
I also believe the other development aircraft are also still around. Be nice to see one at Duxford with the other airliners or somewhere like it. Remember going to the open days at Hatfield watching them building them... Aahh happy days.

Thanks gaiterbait.
Following main spar failure there was much pulling of rivets in the vicinity of the break and pieces of lower wing skin detached. About 2 square feet.
Still suffer a bit of PTSD from that one!
