I think I heard/saw something about a version, modified for electronic surveillance that was also still flying... maybe in Canada. Can't find a link.
It is the only one that flies anywhere....
Privately operated...albeit restored with funding from the National Lottery..

A fantastic effort and an amazing sight and sensation when flying...

I've flown several times out and in to LAX but never realized it was this close to the ocean.

Right in the background is the tree lined runway that you often see on UK Television in car testing,

2 Miles long its the longest available here and always kept free in the event of.......
well they keep it for landing just anything they might need flying in or out,



I was a passenger in countach at 170 something MPH, culminating in a spin across the grass when the new owner couldn't stop it in time to make the big sweeping turn at the end
