from what i have read they would have been better off sticking with the Sperrin, even if it does look more workmanlike it flew without losing big (and rather important) bits of airframe. also wasn’t it just as capable as the Valient?.

not sure on this one, i’m off to Little gransden the weekend before so it depends on how busy we are at work really. hey may spit the dummy if i take two weekends off if its busy. i’ll try though.

i’m working on a flying model chipmunk from a kit that looks similar to this one but at the current construction rate it’ll be finished in time for the 200th centenery of flight :0

on the subject of RAF phantoms, we all know how much good re-engining the phantom did, as one RAF phantom jocky put it, what happens when you spey a bitch?, it gets fat and slow.
RAF phantom, the most powerful, the most expensive and the SLOWEST of the phantom fleets.
