"The Hidden Museum"

I still have many of the books I had as a child. One of the books I have is the "Royal Air Force Flying Review" which is a compilation of all the issues of the magazine by the same name for the years 1956-57.

In the attachments are an article from the December 1956 issue of "Royal Air Force Flying Review" titled "The Hidden Museum."

For 50 years I have wondered about this museum, and I was curious to know what happened to the aircraft in there. Anyone any suggestions?

I hope the attachments are readable. If not, Kyt, can you do the honours and make them so?

I remember seeing a Flight Magazine article from the 1950s about this but now can't find the damn thing. I'll try to find it.
