Jason, where is the Mk 5 located as the lads at Barkston Heath don't know anything about it?.

Gordon, I seem to remember Robert or somone mentioning there were two 5s at Cosford hidden in a hangar.

Added by John Stott on 27 September 2009.
I believe there MAY be a lot more things hidden at Cosford!

Bob, as long as its not an 8 then I am happy!

The two at Cosford are no longer there and have moved on. Do we know where this one is currently located?

This Mk5 is still in existence and slowly being restored. A seized engine (Rolls B80 Mk2D) means we are still looking for parts. Otherwise complete (apart from the foam pump)and now under cover in the workshop. Originally retrieved from Mains scrapyard in Oxfordshire in 2004.
