considering that is outside, it does look in very good condition.
I like it's styleeverything blanked off to buggery but with added realness with the "remove before flight" banners
The GR9AV8Z super wonder Plasticfibred Harriers may well be the dog's' danglies but the good old pointy fronted Hawker Harrier simply oozes "rightness"
I love it

way back in the sixties you could see abandoned radomes off Javelins outside many a MOD propertyI remember some, maybe near Carlisle Airport back then and there were definitely a pair as "gate guardians" near the Spitfire on the A38 southbound into Worcester at one time. There was an ATC Squadron based in a MOD building there, anyone remember it?
More to the point, is the place still there now?
Is the Spitfire?
Or the radomes?
They were distinctive because the were fitted on a slant to the airframe, never any doubt what they'd been on
Also had a distinctive pointed nose look about 'em too.
The picture? FAW 5 was it, pen nib jetpipes rather than the later FAW9s with reheat
I've forgotten and am wilfully refusing a quick google, much too easy
wasnt there somehting about the Javelin where, in afterburner it had extra intakes open, which increased drag and made the aircraft slower then in non-afterburner mode??
Or did I imagine that
As an aside, when I first joined the Aston club aged 14 in 1991, I got talking to a member who was an air cadet and he was taken up in one from West Malling over London in the 50s. Imagine that!
