 Presently, the preserved aircraft is on static display at the Royal Air Force Museum Cosford.During the late 1940s, multiple British research institutions, including the National Gas Turbine Establishment (NGTE), the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) and various aircraft manufacturers, became interested in the potential applications of the recent innovation of blown flaps, or as they were known in Britain, "jet flaps".Out of this work, it became recognised that a major benefit of jet flaps would be substantially lower take-off and landing speeds for aircraft.
