Yup. You’re an idiot. So what’s new and how does that make you different from the rest of us?

Pass.

Coincidence strikes…

The last time I called in to Duxford, 6 weeks or so ago, TFC (I think) had a tablefull of mags they were giving away. I picked up half a dozen.

One was the June 1994 edition of Wingspan which I’ve just grabbed at random from one of my many stacks of books and mags. Inside is an Alf Grainger 3-view of the Heston Pheonix. Just tried to scan it and it was ‘orrible, I’ll have another go over the weekend.

I think the DH 125 would have been a trifle over-powered with 2 Avons installed. 🙂 Vipers, IIRC.

A pure guess but I would think the pitch would be different between a Comet and a Caravelle. Quite a contrast in the installation, podded compared to buried with long jetpipes and intakes.

Can’t help with details of the original but the chaiman of the Rolls-Royce Model Aircraft Club completed a large-scale model of the Pheonix last year.

Don’t shed any tears for Fremlins, it was cr*p, or more accurately, it was when I knew it in the late sixties.
I suspect it had been swallowed up by the Whitbread Empire by then so it may have been better before the takeover.

Any company that has a pub called the Battle of Britain with a French roundel as the sign doesn’t deserve any sympathy anyway.

Like Moggy said, depending on the weather we should be at the Red Lion on Saturday. Oh, and Legends.

Methinks the latter is because of the former.

Methinks MOTF has right on his side.

Bu**er – he’s got me at it now!

I found the same link when I googled.
I suspect it’s a standard phrase as it refers to the runway elsewhere. I would guess that only 4′ wider than the undercart would challenging for even a pilot highly experienced on type.
