Please Sir, I don't think we're going to get many!

摘要

September's editorial - Please Sir, We Want Some More! -got me thinking. Ken Ellis was explaining that a spares reclamation scheme on the RAF's Panavia Tornado F.3 fighters was probably going to mean that very few would get into UK museums. Ken was lamenting that it seems that only the 'nationals' get a look-in and that the 'regionals' stand little chance.rnI think the Editor's estimate of three F.3s going to the 'big boys' is optimistic. The National Museum of Flight Scotland has one and yes, the RAF Museum - Hendon or Cosford - must get one. I'll lay strong odds that the Imperial War Museum Duxford doesn't take delivery. They've ticked that box already with a GR.1B.
