EAP
Cosford have had a bit of clear out, some of the older, test bed aircraft have been either moved outside or are awaiting new owners. Luckily one of my favourites is still inside, it is the EAP, technology demonstrator for the aircraft we now call the Typhoon. It was built by BAe using the Tornado parts bin as a start point with a couple of Tornado engines, a tailfin and lots of other bits. After completeing trials and test it was retired to a university as a training airframe but is now complete and on display.
Experimental Aircraft Programme before anyone asks...
