Kinda late, I know. The following was posted on another forum I frequent:- People often ask (though not in these words) how maritime reconnaissance can have any impact on their lives, about what enemy those aircraft protect us from; about what the point is now the Cold War's ancient history...

Hi all. I was just reading an article in an old copy of Motorsport, about the MkII's appearance at La Sarthe in '66, when i spotted something interesting. In photo's from the race, there was a vertical splitter within the nose radiator vent shown on (at least) chassis 1046, 1047 & XGT1. This...
