    Btw, do u have all the parts u need yet?

    Why not pop a Mercury on the front? I’ve just noticed how similar they are!

    I pretty sure it was WD840 now. And was obviously headed for Europe rather than the UK. Thanks for your help, folks! (And especially Yak 11 Fan!)

    In his autobiography, Kelly Johnson basically said they had a long engine to fit in, the turbocharger and it’s associated plumbing, the landing gear and the cooling system. And by the time they had found room for all that they were out where the tail could be-so they just stuck one on!
    Incidentally, he went up with Hughes in a Constellation when Hughes was shopping for his TWA airline and the pilot let him fly it for a while-and at one point the ASI read ZERO! (The first and only time Johnson and his team had seen that while flying!) So they got him out of his seat and landed back in silence!

    Might be worth contacting Vintech in Bedfordshire-they overhaul DH engines and might be able to help

    I seem to remember Eric Brown bemoaning German aircraft brakes. The Me-262 replica is closer to the original than I thought!

    It seems to me that (at least in the civil sector) their market research was flawed. It seemed that they were only talking to the domestic airlines about what they wanted, with the result being pitifully small production numbers (with one or 2 exceptions)
