Apparently Clarkson's wife wasn't impressed at all with her husband's new paperweight, so he had to give it away eventually.
He never owned it, the whole thing was staged for the show.
It was funny as hell though.

This is so Cool!
There's an F-111 in Texarkana, TX just off the Interstate 30 in some yard. Great looking bird.

I hope this birds find good homes and owners that take good care of them.

They hve pretty good info and even cheap sells a CD with a lot of interesting tech stuffs.

I hve to admit that this plane has always been fascinating to me exception made of the dump/burn air show trick

GRRRR... Give me a TSR2 any day....

Saddest day in British aviation history



As good as the F-111 turned out to be I can't help but see it as the aircraft that doomed what was going to be a fantastic aircraft... no patriotism here BTW just sad to see politics destroy a great aircraft.
