[TR] TR2/3/3a/3b nose

[Don Hiscock]

It's been done, Dave Massey.  IIRC, the TR Register (UK) forum had a thread
10+ years ago on how an apron was converted to front-hinged..  I'm not
going hunting for it though -- it offends the originalist in me.  :)

On the same general subject, I saw this ugly-a$$ sidescreen TR in Monaco
during Grand Prix weekend a few years ago (2017, I think).  Not exactly a
full tilt, but kind of a goofy mod for the work that would have been
involved.
