Being in Aden, I imagine, once she'd been denuded of anything useful, then the locals would have put her to use building roofing materials. If on the other hand, the Tempest came down in the YEMEN as opposed to Aden, then it's possible something might still be there.
Ironically, my local newsagent is from North Yemen, he tells me, he remembers a JU52 there a long time ago.
