complete aircraft!
Completely off topic but how the TSR.2 got there is easy - it went by road! My dad was one of the police outriders who escorted it there although how and why he went all the way to Henlow when he was Hertfordshire Police I've no idea. It was 1967 at an educated guess. He got talking to the, presumably RAF, chappie on the gate and arranged for the two of us to get in at a weekend to see the aircraft that had been collected for the Battle of Britain film.
