    It was in the Science Museum as recently as 1997 I recall. I had to get prior written permission to photograph the Supermarine S6B from end to end for the purpose of scratch building a model. It did not cost anything but I did have to sign an Agreement.

    Sign an agreement not to steal it? all seems a bit daft to me Stealing to order can’t be that prevalent can it? enough to prevent a photographic memory of a visit?

    I would have thought the US navy has enough ships going back and forth across the Pacific that it would be easier and cheaper by boat? wouldn’t even have to strip it down?

    Theirs some good photos of the Griffon Mustang in the book Rolls-Royce and the Mustang (I just finished the book last night!) It would have been a hell of an airplane! The mock up was made from three dismantled Mustangs as they were hoping to use as many off the shelf components as possible. The 1st mockups were built using a Merlin as the modified Griffon was unavailable.
