When the Indian Government put the the Tempests up for disposal in 1976, eleven were listed as available cat. 'E'. Although the paperwork does not list the location I recall that they were at Poona (Pune). From memory I think the five or six best eventually arrived back in the UK. And what of the remainder? Word on the street at the time was that they were scrapped off by the purchaser to protect the market. Commercially probably a smart move but in hindsight ...........
