Earlier this week Sue and I took our guests to RAF Cosford. It's the second time this year that I have visited but it was so much more fun with young guests who were visiting for the first time.
I took these images of 'What-If' Aircraft.
On the day we were visiting, there was a gathering of Ford Capris, I estimate there were between 40 and 50 cars on display. The Ford Capri (and particularly the Mk I) was The Iconic sports car of my teenage years.
Finally, we have me at the controls of the Jet Provost, once again I had to duck to get into the cockpit!

Thanks for posting these, always interesting to see models of failed designs.
Do you recall what that strange airplane with the square intake and missiles on top was called? Seems like a very sci-fi design!
