The whole deal was incredibly vague and it's hard to see what exactly Hendon gained from it - probably a brown envelope containing cash. As for converting her to a FB.VI
why bother. She was built as a T.3 and should remain so - she is as historic as a trainer as she is pretending to be a wartime FB.VI . Anyway how many T.3's now survive - I guess not many with the demise of RR299.
It's the same with the TT.35 at Dayton Ohio - who in the U.S really cares whether she has the large bomb bay doors or not - they should have left her as she was - it's tinkering for the sake of it.
