I'm not sure much has happened since it was stored at Pima.

It was moved to Pima, AZ in Sep09 after which the wings went to Australia to be used in the restoration of A24-88. The hull was acquired by MotoArt and taken to Mojave, CA arriving Aug17. It was cut up there with sections of the nose being destined for a Canadian finance company Canso Funds. The remainder was cut up for use by Moto Arty as key fobs and other artefacts.

Thank you, guys. Your postings refreshed my memory. Now I recall that it went to Pima, but I did not know it had been broken up. At least parts of it still survive.
