A superb machine (despite the "military" cockpit). It looks right and probably flew right too. I've only known a couple of people that flew it and they loved it (despite THAT smell) It's a pity the RAF crashed the first one, at Heathrow of all places too. Some sort of Air Marshall in the cockpit, A PAR "talkdown", they didn't get it right (all those medals and they still couldn't land.....) both pilots ejected and left their colleagues to fry....
Apparently the Air Marshall's brother was an interesting case also.
