Fire training aircraft Leeds Bradford early 70s

[Flugzeug A]

Wasn’t sure where to post this , so please don’t admonish me if it’s the wrong place!
I was at school near Leeds Bradford from ‘72 to ‘74.
At weekends , my aviation minded schoolmates & I ‘lived’ at the airport.
When not in the terminal , we were hanging around- and welcome- at Yorkshire flying club , ‘Northair’s hangar medivac & other places opposite the main buildings.
But , I’m now years older & beginning to wonder if one of my recollections is completely wrong!
I’m 99% sure that on the same side as YFC but further away & within the airport perimeter , there was an old aircraft halfway up a hill, used for fire training.
Obviously at that time , it would have been an old propellor aircraft but I can’t find any mention of it at all in my web searches.
And no , I don’t think it was a rig made of girders!
I’d be grateful if anyone could tell me anything further about it or just tell me I’m imagining it.
Thanks all.

Yes Varsity WL678.

A sad picture that's just spoilt my morning. I've flown 676, and you're making me feel aged.

Herod it's actually WL678 so you must be both aged and in need of an eyesight test !
WL676 ended her days at Kemble .

Marvellous!
Thanks all, I am reassured that I wasn’t imagining it!
Ta again for your time & replies.

No not blind. I merely mentioned that I had flown 676, a very close relative. I know that one is 678. Eyesight perfect, as is memory, certainly in relation to location of logbook.

Was it finally removed when they built the new hangar. 80s.

I think the Varsity wreck was removed as part of the extension project in the early eighties. From memory, those hangers didn't appear until quite a bit later.
