Aircraft under blue tarpaulin
Afternoon all,
I visited the excellent Newark Air Museum on Thursday and I was wondering if anyone knows what the aircraft is under the blue tarpaulin outdoors? When I was looking at it I recognised the shape but I couldn't put a name to it.
MTIA,
Chris

Thank you Brian for your prompt and correct response - decision pending on NAM's involvement with this iconic cockpit section!

Many thanks, don't suppose anyone has a serial for it?

Chris, it does not have a specific serial but in Damien Burke’s excellent TSR2 book, the cockpit is described as follows: “Test forebody T5 …” and that it was “….Rescued from the Farnborough dump in 1992.”

From the museum's Twitter feed: "Although due to leave soon – if the weather holds this #TSR2 cockpit may get a brief airing on April 26th #BigDayOut"
