Visited the 'medway aircraft preservation society' based at Rochester airfield in Kent UK, recommend you do the same.
Tucked away is a jet research aircraft, SB.4 Sherpa.
The volunteers who restore aircraft (spits notably) very informative. Told a tale of a restored spits first flight.
The SB.4 in process of being restored, could not resist touching it.
Regards. Mitzi.
