I never saw the resemblance myself. Still, it's a nice looking aeroplane & far be it for me to spoil the legend. Wink

I can't remember myself. There's a section of 747 fuselage, and I'm fairly sure the Wright Flyer was resident for a time (in the 30s...) Smiley

There are some non-Brits, several American, the odd French one, quite a few German engines.
A lot of my shots didn't come out, or were blurry...
