I remember many years ago when the Royal Air Force Museum Cosford was called "The Aerospace Museum", the York was being used as the shop! Punters would walk into the big double doors at the rear and grab their models and books and things and present them to a lady at a table with a cash register!

This is the aircraft now serving in its role as a museum exhibit in the snazzy Cold War Hangar.
