One for those waiting for CFS3, a Luftwaffe Messerschmitt 262 8) The tailsection of a Messerschmitt Komet is also visable (not complete though, it was undergoing restoration when i was there :-[)Image
And finaly, one of only 2 surviving aircraft of its type, the BAC TSR2. And an Experemental Gloster Meteor to the left.

I worked on the Powered Flying controls for the TSR2 at Messrs Hobsons(Wolverhampton)until some Government body decided to scrap the whole project.Preference was then given to the 'V' Bombers in the light of the Cold War.(V=Victor,Valiant and Vulcan).
The Tactical Strike Recce.,was way ahead of it's time,but short on range unfortunately 8)
