It's been acquired by someone who works at ASI Kemble, so reports of its demise are premature.

Thanks MRay I assumed it was being scrapped due to its position on the airfield and the fact that it was missing it's wings. Good to know it may yet be saved.

Thanks for the info, I was wondering why anyone would go to the expense of moving it all the way to Kemble instead of using a local scrap dealer! It's good to know another JP has been saved to join all the others in existence.
