Standby Scum,
I think it was the late Brain Trubshaw who put it in there. It was never intended to fly again anyway! Yeovilton isn`t the longest runway so he did a Royal Navy carrier special thinking that was how things were supposed to be done there.
I have been told there are some wrinkles on the skin if you look carefully, but not as bad as the B52 at Duxford.
