Nice set. Difficult to be certain, but the chap in the rear seat did appear a little nervous in shot 4.

Great set of shots. Interesting to see the back seat crewed up! Thanks for these.

I assumed it was a life like test dummy in the rear seat rather than a real person?

Indeed Alf. Much easier to insert accelerometers in a dummy than a real person. ;)

Great shots of a lovely old jet.
A question: in the first shot the rear cockpit is covered, and in all the others it's open.Strange - anyone have an idea why?

The rear cockpit had a cover over it for it's transit up to Lossiemouth (via Newcastle) from Chalgrove.
