Wow, they actually built it!  :thumbsup:

That's GOT to be worth seeing, I feel a trip to Bedfordshire coming on.  ;D
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

Umm, yeah it was built a few years ago, first flight was 8 August 2012 as HAV 304 at Joint Base McGuire–Dix–Lakehurst.
After the program was cnaceled it was sold back to HAV for $301,000 by the Pentagon (US Army) in September 2013
and taken to RAF Cardington for reassembly.

Lakehurst and Cardington, there's a couple of names with some LTA history.  :thumbsup:
