Well I'll be asking for suggestions in the next few weeks or so, so when I do, suggest it  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

The bit of it at Cosford don't.

There are people there who'd happily string me up given the chance as they're fed up with people wanting to see the Meteor PR19b.  :wacko:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I mentioned that Meteor  (and certain other airframes too) to a staff member at Cosford the last time I was there.  We had already been discussing  "What If and Project Cancelled" models .  He told me that the current answer when asked is:-  "We're still not allowed to talk about those potential exhibits. "

The possibility has previously been suggested that the What If  group is in fact a disinformation group for (as the Russians say) "certain organs of state security"  and that the moderators report directly to a very senior figure in Windsor.

On the other hand, this statement  may be "a consignment of elderly shoe repairers"
