Scrapped 1969, remains to Little Rissington fire dump. This is the 163rd and last Varsity built, replacing WJ900 which was diverted to the Swedish Air Force. According to the December 2012 edition of Classic Aircraft, XD366 was built "largely from spares" and as a result exhibited some unpleasant flying characteristics.
