Called into Cranwell on the way back from Waddington for the two Finnish PC-12

(XW838) Lynx stored outside

XP556 JP in the Cranwell Heritage centre

Both good for me

Hi Mike

The Lynx is an interesting one... can you say where abouts this is located please.

Regards.

XW838 was written off in August ‘74

It's boom survived and was attached to 'TAD009', a training aid.

You can see it from the connecting lane off the A17 to the A6403 ( 53.027369,-0.515563) opposite the phenom hangars looking slightly north east across the airfield 53.031628,-0.503325

I think I saw it during the practice for the Queen's flypast last year but didn't realise what it was

As mentioned above it appears only the boom is from XW838 something I didn't realise.

The heritage centre is worth a visit for the JP XP556 and Vampire front half - XE946

Free entry plus a donation

Tea and coffee available
