Model-Junkie Posted January 3 Posted January 3 I lived in the UK when I was younger, I was about 13 or 14 when I was at RAF Cosford but I was more focused on the air show at the time than the static displays, I don't even recall viewing the TSR.2. I need to make a trip there when I go back to the UK, it's only 45 mins away from my parent's place. I visited the National Museum of the USAF in Dayton Ohio in September, a phenomenal place. Really happy I was able to see the YF-23 in person. Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Thanks for the great pic, like the TSR-2 itself, the YF-23 still looks like its from an alternate timeline... I've never made it to Cosford, though I have been to Duxford though not for some years. I keep meaning to make a return trip but its sort of the wrong side of London to make it straightforward getting there from where I am. Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Wait, top right hand-corner - is that either the X-29 or James Bonds little jet from "Octopussy"...?! Quote

Model-Junkie Posted January 4 Posted January 4 That is indeed one of the X-29A's peeking in my shot, I like how they suspended the aircraft from the ceiling and you're able to walk under it, though my photo makes it seem closer than it really was. Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted January 4 Posted January 4 You know you’ve perhaps a bit too far down the aviation fan route when you can recognise an aircraft from a bit of colour on its nose…! 😅 Quote

F-ZeroOne Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Wow, cool! I guess you should just be glad they didn't ask you to the horsebox as well... 😄 Quote
