A view from a corner of the Heritage Centre shows the Boulton & Paul P.6 fuselage in the foreground with the Boulton Paul Defiant behind. The P.6 is part-way through painting having been fully covered. The painted rudder can be seen in the centre of the photo above, including the aircraft's serial X25.
