Below are a couple of shots of the Mk.1 nose prior to restoration….
….as is obvious a lot of hard work just in the restoration of the nose , well done.

Looking good. A question re the old spars, Are they of any use to a museum for static use? It seems a waste if they are just scapped.
I was fortunate that during the build up to filming, I was working at Saffron Walden so I managed to have my extended lunch breaks at Duxford which enabled me to get a few shots of some participants. A few featured below, these were posted elsewhere on this forum some time ago, sorry for the repeat.

The way the Lightning is displayed really puts me in mind of the first time I saw a Lightning displa at Biggin Hill when at the start of the pilot went into a vertical climb..
