Boscombe Down S2Bs

Hi again. I have posted these shots on FC as a response to a recent request.

XW988 Weapons Trials S2B at Fairford 91 (I believe but don't trust my memory!!) Could be BD '90... :unsure:

XW987 S2B A+AEE BD in 94?

BTW did the tail fin and air intakes ever get painted correctly? (Apparently not, all the googled shots I can find show it with an incomplete paint job). NB This aircraft is presumably up for sale following the demise of Thunder City, or so I heard.
