Hang on a minute - this group and a few previously are NOT at the RAF Museum at Hendon but at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford? Royal Navy Sea Vixen and Gannet in the 'RAF' Museum?

Sorry Adrian, taking lots of photos, visiting lots of different hangars on two different sites and not looking at the pics till I was in another country may explain the mix up. As you know Duxford is massive and at the end of my stay I was pressed to remember what was what. The American hangar was definitely at Duxford but would you believe it someone saw the photos of the B-52G in the American hangar and proceeded to tell me that all those types were accounted for and that that one couldn't possibly be in England!!!! I was obviously a deranged psycho and how dare I make such a mistake! I'll remember not to post such controversial photos next time. Here is the plane in question with an F111 tucked next to it. If you have any say in how the shop should reflect the planes just exhibited in the hangar either as plastic kits or as diecasts it would be a blessing because the shop was lacking enormously in planes just seen on display. Lost oportunity there.
