Come to think of it, that TSR2 deserves to be in "The Splitpin Hall of Fame". If I can get in there before you post "well that'll be a small volume" ... it won't be!

I was surprised to see the RAF musuem in Hendon, London selling nuts and bolts from the scraped TSR2 for 50 pence each when I was there last month!

You would think anything from those aircraft, regardless of how small would be filed away......but i suppose as long as they have good examples of all the bits, then the extra parts can generate some funding. Trolly..Hendon is on my bucket list....

Thought i saw you , mentioned this and someone 'said you were in Christchurch' ..... but close by Christchurch UK were only you can find Nuts and Bolt for sale ... i could make em here and sell em as

Superb - as always

You and I have the same tastes in period/aircraft. Put Duxford on your list too if you want to see the only surviving example of the TSR2 - ( Ooops - i forgot the other one at RAF Cosford )

AND if you haven't got a copy already I thoroughly recommend you read "Empire of the Clouds" by James Hamilton-Patterson. Its engaging and very well written - a mine of anecdotes and information about the post-war British aviation industry - its rise and fall. Cant recommend it enough!
