WELL worth a visit, even if only to see WB188, the all red Hunter F3 prototype, which broke the Air Speed Record in 1953.
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! :)

Regards
Kit

And Meteor F4 EE549, also at Tangmere, was another world air speed record holder.  Also one of the build options in Special Hobby's Meteor F.4 kit ( SH72361).

Oh, of course! How silly of me to forget.  :banghead:

That's the yellow one, isn't it, flown by Sqdn Ldr Donaldson IIRC?

Take time to ask about the PR-19 while there.  The staff like to practice their denials...

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

zenrat industries:  We're everywhere...for your convenience..

A different museum, the PR19's at Cosford, around 200 miles to the north.

I'll be up in Geordie Land for the Tyneside show on the Sunday, that's if they've sobered up  :angel: , otherwise I'd have popped down.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I thought it was, but no - it's wears a high gloss camouflage scheme with a modified cockpit canopy.  And it have full-span wings.
