RAF Queen's Flight

 

Information from flickr - thanks to Ken Fielding:

XS790 was delivered to the UK Royal Air Force in Jul-64 and served with the Queens Flight for 28 years until it was transferred to the Defence Research Agency in Oct-92. The DRA was renamed the Defence Evaluation & Research Agency in Apr-97. It was retired at Boscombe Down, Wiltshire, UK in 1997 and broken up in Nov-98.

 

The forward fuselage was preserved for the Boscombe Down Aviation Collection and may be seen at Old Sarum airfield (EGLS)
