The museum at Coventry has a cabinet which has a fair few of the U.K. S.I.G.'s wif's, Martin calls them our "reserve collection" and although clearly marked as "What If's" they have confused more then a few punters 

I love to lurk by that case and listen to people talk about them. There's always one who says 'Ah yes, I used to work on those when I was with 74 Sqdn.' or some such.

I've heard that said a few times whilst behind the stands. Sometimes you can understand it, when there's a similarity of shape and the viewer is getting on a bit, but sometimes

One bloke at Telford claimed to have been on 13 Sqdn. when they flew Meteor PR19s!

I hope you led him farther down that particular garden path

I'm sure I saw that in the Swedish Airforces museum when I visited a couple of years ago

We should start leaving convincing WHIFs like that in museums, with a small explanatory plaque...

We really should make more use of museum references in back stories.

Confusing/totally befuddling the public can be hilarious.  Anyone care for a repeat of the 'Operation Mistletoe' Wellington/Hurricane composite at Milton Keynes tale from Kit and Narses?

If we can get a couple of guys from Cosford on side, we could elevate Numptyboggling to a whole new level. A chap I know at the museum at East Fortune tells me he is heartily brassed off with visiting know-alls supplying misinformation to the other  punters, maybe this would let him have the last laugh.

As to the FD2, it's a pretty aeroplane in just about anyone's livery.....one would look good in NASA or New Zealand Space Agency markings.

Really? 

Look at the trouble it's got me into at Cosford over the PR19 that no-one ever seems to be able to find there!

'But I KNOW it's here, I read it on the Internet!'

That looks FANTASTIC! And since I've got one in the stash, I know what you started with, and it isn't pretty. But you've managed to turn out a winner!

I'd forgotten that
