Nice but sad photos , didn't know the Museum had closed , but not entirely unexpected though , I visited a few years back now and had a look around and it was looking grim then . Anyone know what happened to the other residents ?

Here ya go Paddy :
c/n 6779 XP447 - Contract KD/2K/011
7th of March 1963 delivered to 267 Squadron.
1st of July 1963 transferred to 215 Squadron, named Horatious.
7th of November 1967 transferred to 70 Squadron.
6th of June 1970 to 27MU.
12th of January 1972 to 5MU.
5th of November 1974 to Hawker Siddley Aviation to be converted to T Mk 2.
10th of February 1976 bought by Management Jets International to be operated by Duncan Aviation as N1430Z on contract to the Bureau of Land Management. It was withdrawn from service in 1991 when the contract came to an end. However, there is some indication that it may have become active after this. At some point in time this aircraft did a charter for Navada Surveyor to Ivotuk, North Slope Alaska to locate the western boundary of the PET-4 Naval Petroleum Reserve. It was on display at the Museum of Flying, Santa Monica, California. It is now at the Milestones of Flight Museum - Lancaster-Fox Field, CA.
