3P: The TSR-2 was housed in a building known as The Pickle Factory which is long gone. Urban myth is that the building was built with the doors facing away from the airfield, instead of facing, hence the man in charge of construction was 'in a pickle' The aircraft itself has been at Cosford for many years.

The control tower at Henlow was made from Hurricane packing cases.
