A scan of an old slide - TSR2

I think this was RAF Finningley in the late 60's or early 70's.

That looks like the condition the Duxford example was in when I first
saw it, in 1982.




Thunder and Lightnings says that XR222 went to Cranfield and then Duxford.

XR220 stayed at Boscombe, then went to Henlow and finally to Cosford

Alan, I never managed a photo showing the full aircraft outside.
Would you mind if I saved your pictures purely for my personal viewing.

Andrew, what I have posted are reductions from the original scans of my
slides, which are tiffs and about 20MB each. Send me mail with your
addy and I'll arrange to get you some better images, depending on what
your email provider will allow. Mine will let me send 100MB
attachments, which is about a 70MB image after allowing for the UUencode
overhead.

XR222 looks a lot better now after restoration.

Alan, many thanks for your kind offer, my email is correct once the 'spam'
is removed but I have sent you an email to be sure.

How about doing a multi-part post to the group?
