Hi Andy

She was with Air Museum/Planes Of Fame, Chino, CA, Jan. 7, 1999-2004. During this time she was restored, then the grunt was changed to a growl courtesy of an Ex Shackleton Griffon 58 with the fancy props followed by a first successfull flight in May 2002.

I dont know if any records where attempted but having seen the take off run at Duxford, I certainly vouch for a 'sprightly' performance !!
