I have a picture of my son aged 4 peaking over the cockpit edge of that aircraft when it was outside at the museum. We lived in Colney Heath, it's great to see the restoration.

Fantastic effort. Thank you for your dedication.

Amazing work!

Interesting story about who & why broke the wing locking mechanism which should perhaps be expanded upon.

It was down to pure paranoia - the fear, in a military brain, that somehow the airframe could end up in an enemy's hands. In contrast, political fear - or was it treachery - was the reason for destroying the very jigs on which TSR2 was built.

Shame that they deactivated the aircraft wings. It doesn't need to fly, but it would have been nice if it could have after all your work.
