In 1980 a frame from a Hector was salvaged from Cloughjordan, Tipperary.
In early 1996 the South-East Aviation Group recovered the frames of a Hector and Hind from a scrap yard in Dundrum, near Dublin.
It would have been nice to see a restored Hector, but as I don't know how much of the airframe was recovered, at least it's being used for something.

One of the companies submitting a design proposal was Westland Aircraft Limited, which had been building the Hector under license from Hawker.
