Hi graeme. The first clue I got was Yeovilton. Based on you getting the maker but it is not a Hunter it must be the Hawker P.1052 and the afterburner in the second.photograph is that used on Concorde.

I visoted for the first time last week and couldn't resist that!

I was interested to see 002 as the last time I saw her was a as child in Blackpool whilst she was on her farewell tour. I'v'e got a B&W photo of her flying along the coast somewhere.

The one that impressed most is one part called the flight deck experiance where you are on a simulated carrier flight deck. The most impressive bit being the smell of burnt jet fuel after a "take off"

I know the museum well. I used to work in Gazelle House on the other side of the road from the FAA Museum for a number of years.

Lockheed XF-90, or 90A depending on engine fit. Ex XP-90.
46-687 first of two(?) protoypes.

With a degree of confidence in #59.
Name of the design organisation, or likely manufacturer. Project only, not built.
