Adrian,

Are you saying I’m too nosey 😀

Seriously though, you’re right. The nose cone removed at Duxford which end up at Booker was the thimble style. I simply assumed that it had been one and the same extended nose but with the black pointed element deleted and faired over once the airpass equipment had been removed. The residual profile was very similar, but I stand corrected if it was a completely fresh unit.
