Amazing shots. What a large collection. Love the 'hovering' Harrier. Hendon's done a similar thing with theirs.

Great pictures! Surprised to see only 1 pic of a Spitfire though, did they have any early Marks there?

TSR-2, the great 'what might have been'. Lovely shots Jim, did you try to touch any of them and get a static shock? I did from some of the aircraft at Hendon, I couldn't resist...particularly not with the Spitfire and Hurricane...so much history, it's...well, Picard puts it best in First Contact:
"Oh, yes! For humans, touch can connect you to an object in a very personal way, make it seem more real."

Fortunately I don't usually suffer from exposure to static shocks Jamie so despite being able to touch a few I honestly can't say I did.

There are a little over 300 piccies in total so if people feel they've seen enough simply call out and I'll save them for the aviation forum I frequent.
