Hi Steve and John,

I vividly remember the arrival of XD145 at Brize Norton, on a trailer at the top of the MT yard! I even came down to the restoration shed to see it ‘close up’ as a member of 2267 (Brize Norton) Sqn ATC one evening, as it was virtually the next shed down from our ATC HQ! I seem to remember that the cockpit was quite complete then, though the seat was removed and one or two instruments missing. I can remember the complete column being in place and the rudder pedals being very similar to the Hunter, great big foot plates!
Oh for a time machine!
