How's about a BAe EAP in ETPS cranberry scheme or in-service RAF colours?

Sneaky one... Boulton Paul P.111  ;)  Everyone thinks it's at Cosford already or should be.

And what of that failed European fighter-bomber project.... MRCA or something? ;) ;D

Anyone ever do a four engined Wellington?

I did start a six engined Lancaster a while back.......

Other ideas (and no, I'm not volunteering to do any/all of them!):

Hampden attack aircraft prototype with a solid nose full of guns.

Super Hunter with P.1083 wing and P.1109B nose and missiles.

Gnat Mk.2 with afterburning Orpheus and big, thin wing (would either need someone to splash out for the Olimp kit or do some serious conversion on a two-seater).

As the show is so early in April, I may be able to make-it. At the moment we are looking to book our passage for the first week in April. Would be a great 'last hurrah'  for me, as Cosford ties with Huddie as my favourite one-day show.

If I cannot be there, then I'll gladly donate both my JP5 FAC trainer and (of course), my Scorpion FAW.1A to the SIG as a sort-of parting gift. I can pass them on to Martin or Chris at Huddersfield.

Raspberry Ripple Mitsubishi F2 in lieu of the Test Planes hangar Jaguar?  The P.111 and a 6-engined Lanc instead of the Lincoln are great ideas.

Might be easier to just go and steal a sheep wouldn't it Ian - they still transport for such things up there, don't they ?
