RAF Museum Hendon. XL554 is really XL703. Transferred by road to RAF Museum Hendon, from Cosford on 16th June 2014, for display in new Oman exhibition ‘An Enduring Relationship’ following repainting into SOAF overall aluminium and white colours and markings as XL554 by the RAFM MBCC at Cosford. Four Scottish Aviation Pioneers were employed by the Sultan of Oman’s Air Force 1959 – 1962. The original XL554 served with 78 Squadron RAF in Aden May 1956 – December 1958, transferred to SOAF 5 August 1958, but was struck off charge after an accident at Ibri 13 September 1959 (information courtesy of the rafmuseum website).
