Short Sealand

I quite like the Sealand, reasonably attractive

I don’t suppose there is such a thing as a colour photo of this slippery fish?

Wasn’t the Sperrin designed as a fall back for the entire V-Bomber program? IIRC it was purely designed as a half step rather than a full step in Jet Bomber design (with less risk and lesschance of failure)

I think it probably would have been a bit like the B-45 Tornado in US service. A totally reliable albeit old technology airframe that really didn’t shine and had a short but useful service life.

Just a couple more

Here are some more P-40’s, but for comparison I’ve included a P-36 (and Hawk 75) and an XP-46

Enjoy 🙂

It’s funny though, 1000’s of RAAF pilots learnt to fly in EATS Harvards but not one (NA-16 not counted) was ever operated by the RAAF.

And as I find sharing pics a simple pleasure as reward for years of searching here are some.

P-40

Here are a couple of my personal favourites
