Sad that there's still a prevailing attitude that history ended in 1945.
Why would Cosford take it? RAFM
already have an F4 at Hendon - FGR2 XV424.
You might want to get over yourself and the misplaced vitriol about the Dornier - with
that attitude the BoB ehibition at Hendon wouldn't exist, nor would Cosford have the Neptune, PBY-6A, Pucara, F111, or P51 (amongst others).
I mean, we wouldn't want that old Johnny Foreigner to have any of his kites in
our museum, would we?
