Phantom - Engine intakes.
Tornado - Nose and cockpit configuration/Tail plane.

That's what prompted me to have a mosey round in YT for it, RLN ;) I did see some other footage of it recently - can't remember where though.

I do love the Arrow!

Keep "Almost" importing a model from Canada, but the postage price puts me off

Great stuff but is sure is hard for a Canadian to watch thinking of what they did with it :(

The government shmucks at the time should have been drawn and quartered! X(

Anyway, sure is nice to see it again.
