There is/was a Lincoln B2 IIRC G-APRJ the Napier engine testbed fitted to the Lincoln's nose at Southend Museum too. I saw it in '77 it may be long gone, maybe the museum is too.

Just checked....Its still there.....southendtimeline/ aircraftmuseum.htm

For those wanting a Lincoln, we'll have a brand new Blackbird Models conversion out soon to fit the new Airfix Lanc II.

Put me down for one of these👍👍👍👍👍😃😃😃😃.

I'm another one waiting in the wings so to speak, shall look forward to one of these sets when they're for sale.

Here is the nose when it was at Aces High in North Weald in the 80's.

All but the nose are now in Australia where it it was to have an Australian built Mk.30 nose grafted on to complete it.

Southend Museum shut in the 80's which is why the Lincoln ended up in North Weald

What on earth was that website I was on!!! Timeline with no mention of shutting. I did think it was odd but I'll believe everything not printed in the papers. Thank you, I was going to drive there tomorrow, not really, I'm going to Heathrow to see the first Concorde passenger flight to Bahrain.
