Nice shots Roger. Interesting to see the XVI. Last time I saw them they were on static display at Biggin Hill in 1996 or 97, before they went to Coningsby for cannibalisation. I say they, as I'm sure there were two of them. Interesting if they are now restoring one. Also seems to have gained a canopy from HFL's TD248!

Great photos! "Bored" and "airshow" don't belong in the same sentance!

I know that the other XVI was struck off charge a year or so back but I had no idea that one was up for restoration. I never noticed the hood either. I wounder if it is from HFL?
