The remaining 4 E3Ds (ZH101/102/105/107) have all been scrapped this month.

107 4/5th October
105 9/10th October
101 13/16th October
102 25th October

The Serials, fighter bars and crests (54sqd, NATO AEW & Lincoln Crest) appear have all been saved off 101/102/107.
The radar supports (with 54sqd crests on) also appear to have been saved from 107.
Various engine cowling pieces and landing gear line the edge of the scrapping area - unsure on end use.

Photo report to follow in a few weeks.

Chaps,

Does anybody know the current situation or have an update on the below;
G-GMAD (To be ZZ506) conversion to R2.
G-DAYP (To be ZZ505) conversion to R2.

Both seem to have been gone for some time now,

Thanks in advance
Regards
Ben

Believe both are expected back in 2024 as the first R2s, with ZZ418 to be the 3rd one.
