A quartet of McLarens were on site today for a photo shoot with the SR-71 - around about a million quids worth if you load up the option lists on them.
From the left (if my model identification is correct) : 570S (£145,000), 675LT (centre) £259,500, orange 650S Spider (£215,000) and the 650S (furthest away) costs £195,000!
Maybe TFC are branching out into the world of exotic car sales!

Meanwhile, elsewhere…

The F-4 and A-10 have now been moved back into the AAM, the U-2 is now hung up and the B-52 was about to be towed back down to sit outside Airspace.
