The record
A segment in the American Air Museum hangar, among a B-29 and an SR-71 Blackbird.
A segment stands in the American Air Museum hangar at Duxford, among the aircraft — a Boeing B-29 Superfortress and a Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird included. It is the second Imperial War Museum site in this catalogue, alongside the Indiano-painted segment outside IWM London, and the two make a useful pair: one museum holding the same object as a work of art in a park and as a piece of Cold War hardware in a hangar.
