What luck! It goes to show that it’s always best to have your camera with you wherever you go!

No wonder they call the 1950s the golden age of British aircraft production. Where have all the design engineers gone?

Even Swedish aircraft enthusiast magazines can sometimes be wrong! Although the letter I quoted was in reply to another that said they were all grounded, so this is a correction to a correction!

My own googling confirms what you say, so I have written to the editor of the magazine with a correction. For a moment, I envisaged a rush of expectant spotters and photographers to converge on Istres!

F-107A

North American tried this in the mid-fifties and built 3 prototypes, but the idea was not pursued.

I have just written two articles myself (on other subjects) this morning for my French-based magazine, so as a part-time member of the press, I know what you mean! In fact a comparison of the reporting in the Sun and Telegraph is very illustrative of their different styles. It’s just that the Sun was first!

OK, I prefer the Telegraph myself but the Sun was first:

IIRC we had only black and white TV (and one single channel) in Sweden in those days! Jag bödde i Stockholm Viby då, Hans, tittade bara på Lilla huset på prärien.

But this RAF Harrier has strip lights . . .

Seems a pointless waste of time, since there are so many genuine and first-class ground-to-air and air-to-air pictures on this Forum. There are much more useful ways to employ Photoshop techniques, also occasionally demonstrated here by the true experts.

Thanks for that, Sonnenflieger, never seen or heard it before – it’s wonderful!

Thanks, Mike, I should have asked you while I was at your place!

My guess is that it’s a new-build YMF from the WACO Classic Aircraft Corporation, after studying the photos on their web site:
