It was sunk near Cheddington rather more than 2 years ago.

Although I can't recall hearing of its final fate I think it is fairly unlikely it was refloated or pulled out whole.

Purely speculative, but this was very near Jem Bates territory, so I suppose it is possible that some of the metal bits may have survived for potential reuse?

It still exists at a private site in Warwickshire - but probably not for much longer.......

Mrs S. and I went up in 2 hrs 52 mins  last week, operating one side only. We were happy enough with that.

Our new record a couple of weeks ago was 15 1/2 hours. But we had a very nice overnight stop 1/2 way down, watching the planes come overhead or from the right and going onto the approach to Birmingham airport.
