Îïèñàíèå: c/n PAC/66/84 (scramble has P66/0083) Built in 1956 for the Royal Air Force with the serial XK885. Throughout her career she served with 21, 60, 209 and 267 Squadrons, the Seletar Station Flight, the Bombing & Target Towing Flight (B&TTF) and the Western Communications Squadron. She is also reported to have been used by the Aeroplane and Armaments Experimental Establishment after March 1973. Allocated the maintenance serial 8452M in August 1975 and used for ground instruction by the Civilian Technical Training School (CTTS) at RAF St Athan. She was sold off and moved to Staverton in 1985 where she was allocated the American civil registration N46EA. She did not fly again and instead became part of the Gatwick Aviation Museum at Charlwood during November 1989. When the Gatwick collection was slimmed down in 2013 the Pembroke went to St Athan for storage before moving to Newquay in December 2019. She is yet to be fully re-assembled. Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre. Newquay Airport, Cornwall, UK. 27th July 2022 Note: - Sadly the museum was forced to close in October 2022 and the collection dispersed. XK885 reportedly moved to the Dalton area.
