Look how advanced the plane looks compared to the radios, road vehicles and other equipment

Wonderful footage.

Such a beautiful machine

Could it take off with the nose dipped?

[@Jack-bs6zb]

I believe so. This aircraft provided data for the design of Concorde which used the same ofive wing and ‘droop snoot’. Concorde took off and landed with the nose in the lowered position so I’d expect this pkane to do likewise.
