Ah the sound a smells of 4 x Rolls-Royce Darts still with me. Only know of three that exist one at Cosford and the other at EMA unless there are examples in NZ or similar.
There is one in NZ but I couldn't shoe horn it in to our visit, just too far off track. Think there is one or two Stateside but not on display at present.
We used to see them regularly coming in and out of EMA first with ABC then somewhere along the lines Elan Air seemed to take over things and were gone by the time DHL built the huge frieght terminal there now.

DeleteGood that you saw them live. The only one I recall seeing outside of a museum was on the fire dump at Manston!
