Thanks Mauld, wonderful stuff and my fix for the day. Spent many London layovers catching the tube to Kings Cross, the train to Cambridge and finally the bus to Duxford, just to see the latest progress. Sadly retired before I saw it fly.
Seems quite a nimble performer, despite having more drag than a gay bar.

Love it!! Not seen that one before. I made the Airfix model when I was a lad, little knowing I would end up on 72. And no, it wasn't Gladiators; Wessex.
