Hi guys

It’s definately L5343, although why it’s up at Cosford I’m not sure. I’m sure I saw pictures at UKAR of it at Hendon, wings and wheels on. Perhaps they had some ‘fit’ issues, as I know they were unable to test fit at MAPS. Perhaps someone can find out something during their visit?

The brochure from the visit says that they are strengthening the wing joints to stand up to 25 years of display, either on the undercarriage or hung.
