Neither of those flew on the UK airshow circuit, Tim.

I don't think anyone ever said they did?!

He's talking about the two ex-FRADU TT18's which went to the States. Skyhawk's links show them - I note that one aircraft is described as "stored" so I guess this means they've probably both drifted into neglect - as usual.

In 1991 when the Harrier GR5 was grounded (Kapton), 1(F) Sqn robbed the GR3 gate guard at Deci whilst on detachment with any aircraft they could find. I was quite surprised they didn't fly it home!

And I know that Vulcan probes went to the Nimrod fleet as someone at Scampton had one as a souvenir and had to bring it back smartish (quietly).

No he wasn't referring to the TT18s, Tim, he was referring to the two RAE B6/8s operated by HAMM/Air Platforms/Air Power (WT327 and XH567). And to half of XH568.

"The company in question has two and a half ex RAE Canberras Tim, the half an airframe being from the one that used to fly on the UK display circuit and was stripped for spares and its nose earlier this year."
