Victor nose section

Does anyone know how intact the interior is of the victor nose section that is in the soplata collection? I do know that this aircraft crashed at the hamilton airshow after running short of fuel but I was curious wether or not this is a stripped out hulk.?

Peter,

I was just stooging around a modelling website, where one guy had posted photo’s of his 1987 visit to Soplata’s.

Amongst the photo’s (including recently rebuilt B-25 ‘Wild Cargo’), was this pic’ of the Victor cockpit and what appears to be a section of fuselage of same beside it………

Peter – I think the vast majority would have been done by the RAF as they still had a few years left in them then.
