The RAF GR7 should be repatriated to the UK! Be a nice addition for Newark Air Museum.

As Newark now only has a policy of collecting trainers now, so not very likely and they are concentrating on other things IIRC

Wittering still has its gate guard and IWM Lambeth has a GR.9 plus a few earlier models dotted around the country.

I don't know if those on spares recovery at Cherry Point have been seen since they went there, but with the base changing/changed to F-35s, I doubt they will be needed, if they even still exist

Judging on the dates last given, no sightings thereafter I suspect long gone....
