Thanks for the various replies. A-533 sadly is no more although the cockpit remains at Boscombe Down. I can account for all the museum ones but A-517 still eludes me.

I've added a link to a picture A-515 which flew on trials from Boscombe Down in the '80s.

If anyone ever came across A-517 I'd be grateful for the info.
