Don't know for how long this aircraft survived. It is not listed as in unit service on Jan 1st 1920. A list produced on 31 Dec 1919 showed 54 aircraft in Britain (plus one in India) still on charge. That number must have included those delivered as spares.

The V/1500 was "one bridge too far" for the British Industry during WW 1. It took ages to come to fruition while politicians and militaries debated back and forth.
When the war was over, it was basically useless and nobody wanted it. It could not be turned into a civil transport either, since it was too unreliable and costly. They were probably scrapped as silently as possible, since nobody wanted an outcry of wasted money....

Cheers
Stig
