Gainesy, glad you 'enjoyed' it.

When I went to the museum in the 90s I was quite surprised to see it there. I 'kind of' assumed that it had flown to somewhere nearby, been dismantled, floated along the canal/river, and then re-assembled.
Looking around the museum display I was quite staggered to see the film of it arriving by air. And that 'noise' is just something else.

After my time at the museum I went to the adjacent airfield just to check how long the runway is ... 'long' is not one of the words I would have used! I spent several minutes looking at the runway, the airfield and the local geography, thinking about the film of the landing ... and the go-arounds ... and the noise.

One things for sure, those buggers would never be able to creep-up on you!
