Hmm, there's a garage down the road which does cut-and-shuts (allegedly). I didn't know you could do the same thing with fast jets

Oh yes you can - how about the Hawk Fuselage Replacement Programme:
Eighty Hawk T1/1A aircraft have been upgraded under the Fuselage Replacement Programme (FRP), which involves the replacement of the aft, centre and rear fuselage sections, using new build sections derived from the Mk. 60.

Or for rotorheads out there:
Dateline 23 November 1999: Soz, Oman, near the city of Muscat. Utilizing tailnumber ZA704, a British Mk II Chinook, a new and proven technique of rapidly removing the aft pylon is demonstratedDuring the Falklands War, Argentine Chinook AE-520 was captured intact and transported to the United Kingdom as a training aircraft. Upon arriving in the U.K., AE-520 was re-serialed as ZA-670. When ZA-704 experienced the accident it was evacuated to Fleetlands for repair. Fleetlands is a Royal Navy aircraft overhaul facility in Gosport, U.K., located on the English channel near Portsmouth. The RAF does aircraft overhaul and repair on part of the facility. The aft pylon from ZA-670 was removed and modified from a C model to a D model. ZA-704s aft pylon was cannibalized for any usable parts to complete the conversion of ZA-670s pylon to the RAF HC Mk II standard. The pylon was then placed on ZA-704, returning it to flyable service. Any of the mechanical systems that were common to the RAF Chinooks were cannibalized from the remainder of ZA-670. The cockpit of ZA-670 was donated the the American POW/MIA search team in hopes of finding missing soldiers still in the Republic of Vietnam
