XD875 crew hatchnote that only the pilot and co-pilot
were equipped with ejection seats. |
* Reports say that XD875, which belongs to a private collector,
was brought to Newark from
Bruntingthorpe in order for work to be done to restore the
interior and to strengthen the floor.
It took part in a successful 'Cockpitfest' at Newark and was said
to be on loan for 5 years.
However, it has now left Newark and is understood to be with a
museum in Scotland - more information when available.
XD875 was the last Valiant to be produced.
