    Not sure about the Seaking hanger being demolished as GEF are still working out of it and it had a lot of money spent on it recently.It looks like they could be repairing this one as the have covered everything up with plastic sheets.They also look as if they are in the progress of demolishing the old 48sqn hanger as both ends have been removed.

    If you know where to look there are at least two Shackelton cockpit floor sections in there and that cockpit section has three or four parts to it.

    Nice puppies Al.

    If my memory serves me correct the F4 K wasn’t wired for a gun pod until they transfered to the RAF and that the squadrons that received them (111and 43) were allocated fleet defense as part of their war tasking.

    I always thought that it belonged to the RAF Museum and was just on long term loan.

    Black Mike is still at Leuchars (Sept 2008) and earns her retirement as a place for kids to get there photo taken in a cockpit and have a Tornado pilot tell them what they were like to fly.
