This is probably the best preserved exhibit here, but is also the youngest exhibit.
The large car park here is actually the apron area for the original terminal building, which has now been converted into a hotel.

RavenAir operates a load of these for survey and mapping flights, and are regularly spotted in the skies around the UK.
Photo taken on my phone after my camera battery died, hence the low quality.

G-AMLZ, Percival P.50 Prince 3E, on static display in the car park behind the Crowne Plaza Hotel at Liverpool John Lennon, 11th March 2025.
The hotel is actually the original terminal building, although it is no longer part of the airport.
I think the Speke Aerodrome Heritage Group may have bitten off more than they can chew with this project, all the exhibits here are in some form of decay, all look fairly miserable and sorry for themselves.

G-ANCF, Bristol Britannia Series 308F, previously of Invicta International, looking a bit sorry for itself in the car park behind the Crowne Plaza hotel at Liverpool John Lennon airport, 11th march 2025.

For now, however, it isn't looking too happy.
