Europe Trip #30: IWM Duxford - 11 - Awaiting Restoration

As I headed in to one of the main hangers which houses the Concord [and many other aircraft], I came across a space with just a few aircraft which were flagged as "awaiting restoration". Here are a couple of pictures of three of the aircraft, and one particularly intriguing aircraft - a radio controlled camera drone. This was in use with the British Army and Royal Artillery from 1961.
