And for the details: this is WK275, that's currently preserved in Upper Hill. Definately not the last complete Swift around, there are others at Timsbury, Winthorpe, Brooklands (well, this one is more or less complete) and Tangmere, and possiblly some outside the UK as well. But it's no less a rare aircraft! If only I had a garden....

Volgens mij is deze F.4 wel de rotste;Glidepath wrote:is iig niet de enige of laatste swift...
Dit was ie in 2006, de vleugel is aardig gebogen.
Deze F.5 in Winthorpe (2006) ziet r van buiten goed uit maar heeft jaren buiten gestaan.....
Deze F.4 (WK198) lag een paar jaar geleden in de primer op Sunderland.
Nu baal ik dat ik de F.7 van Jet Heritage (XF114) in '89 op Bournemouth niet geknipt heb. Ze waren deze toen wel "vliegwaardig" aan het maken. Ik weet niet hoe dit afgelopen is.
Daarnaast heb ik een FR.5 in Hendon gezien (WK281) die ik 2 jaar geleden in Tangemere zag. Zijn er nog meer?
Greetz,

Hi Patrick,
XF114 is the one I mentioned at Timsbury. It has a civil registration allocated, but is stored (and has been so for many years). It did get out for the special RIAT some years ago though, there it was put on the static display.

The first one in the photo seems to have had lots of exposure.
