They are bad indeed. Then again it was the age. Flares later in the Cats life were fortunately reserved for landing.

I vaguely remember the airbrakes didn't have the perforations, but I wouldn't swear to that.
It could have been S07 (XW563) but the instruments sound more like a French "A" prototype (A04). The British Prototypes had the NAVWASS so should be similar to a GR1.

Wish I did. Corgi 0 - 1 Wife. Had to pay for the thing as well. Copyright doesn't exist to Corgi. They picked the right side for the box image mind.
