Thanks for sharing these, nice to see one of my favourite types. In 1969 and when I hadn't even reached double digits in age, at an air show, I was invited inside and given a tour of the cockpit, it was an SR.2 variant of 543 Squadron. I suppose I wasn't considered a security risk, but it was a memorable experience.
