Here's another view. Yes, it's almost too luxurious to be real.

HI Peter,

Dave's on track with this one, it's a Comet 4 cockpit, based at the de
Havilland Museum.

Comment about the Caravell is interesting, as according to Wikipedia: "Sud's
design licensed several fuselage features from de Havilland, a company Sud
had dealings with for several earlier designs. The nose area and cockpit
layout were both taken directly from the de Havilland Comet". Plus, of
course, they both used Rolls Royce Avon engines.

Thanks Ri©ardo. I'd gone back as far as the VC10, but then a plate of
spag bol and having to work intervened. Don't know why I didn't think of
the Comet. It was obviously lot neater on the outside than on the
inside.

I've got a photo somewhere of John Cunningham with the crew of Canopus
standing in front of the aircraft at Hatfield during one of the last
Open Days there.

Just goes to prove that even a blind pig will occasionally find a truffle...

But don't they do it by smell?

Probably, but I'm surprised that a pig can smell anything - over the smell
of .... pig.

I don't usually bother with wallpaper, much preferring a black background.
However, I thought I'd give this image a try for a few days.

Well chosen hero ;-)

Thank you for that. I saw the TSR2 in flight back in the 60s. I was on an
army exercise on Salisbury Plain at the time, and there was a "chase" 'plane
close by which, I think, was a Harvard - although the memory does dim with
time!
