Just got back from a week at the War and Peace show in Kent,where one of the stalls there had a Tornado F3 nose cone for sale! Very nice,but getting it home 140miles with an already full Landrover 109FFR would have been a problem! Never asked how much,but it weighs 245kg!

Scrap the lot, just a hunk of metal with no history behind the plane whatsoever.

Bit harsh Rich - Doesn't “no history” mean it was a successful deterrent

Just found out that the radome/nose cone is £995 for anyone who may be interested! Johnsons of Leeds is the company selling it.

No idea Mike.They have had nose art painted on it (mainly to attract a buyer at the show).There was a weight and measures sticker on it,so it may actually be a spare straight out of storage rather than a flown one?

£40 for an undercarriage door, wonder how much my 'WM' tornado tail panel from 56 squadron would be worth, not that I would sell it.
