Seen shortly after being withdrawn and prepared for dispatch to FAA Museum, Yeovilton. From a correspondent - I believe this is the only Attacker still in existence. Not long before the Navy moved out of Abbotsinch they mounted this aircraft as a gate guard at the Greenock Road gate. It was displayed with flaps, undercarriage and arrestor hook deployed and looked as if it was just about to land.
