Registration: XM603 RAF
Construction number: Set 67
Is lovingly looked after by the Avro Heritage Trust at British Aerospace's Woodford plant with what appears to be on/off/on support from BAE themselves (currently 'on'!). Three of her engines are in running condition, but the fourth was giving them problems for some time.The death of their engine specialist Dougie Godfrey dealt a blow to the plans to replace the engine but they overcame this and installed another 301 engine. They hoped to run all four engines up soon after, with a possibility of taxiing the aircraft at the Woodford airshow in 2000 but sadly never made it and now it seems the aircraft is fading back into obscurity and inaction. Visits can however be arranged by getting in touch with the Trust - these are held on Thursdays and you must arrange in advance for a security pass to be issued
