ZA492 went to Lossie this morning, ZA412/017 (the other 617 special) was still with XV Squadron on the 3rd of this month.
12 and 617 Squadrons disband next Friday (28th).

Demobbed/UK serials have no longer got 116 ZD996 or 117 ZE116 listed, and Military Aircraft markings has 122 ZG712 down as now scrapped so assume 116 and 117 have also gone into the crusher at Seaton (I think) that's where almost all the gutted F.3 fuselages went.
