Awesome things - i used to see them at airshows when i was a kid.
i hope they get it back on the airshow circuit cos i'll be watching 
noisy gits , living next door to them can be a PIA
It's really amazing isn't it, I have seen them at airshows it's almost surreal, so graceful. I thought they had all run out of hours
but obviously not.

I think that one has been fully rebuilt

It fully restored, which is great, I think the last time they were used was the Fauklands.
Flew in one in 1959 when in the RAF, most boring 14 hr's I have ever spent. They used to do a radar calibration run for the ground stations, so
fixed height, fixed speed and fixed track. Only good part was got to sit in the captains seat for an hour, "just don't touch anything",

One crashed near us when I was at school- one guy who'd been naughty- was standing outside and saw it go over with bit sof glowing metal coming
off.
I'm afraid I was inside at the time!
