    Hi

    John P

    the anson mentioned by setter is a mk1 fitted with a late model wing it’s being restored to fly as a mk1 but retaining the metal wing .

    The plan with the Jumo engines is, rather than building entire engines, to install modern rotors in the original engines. I have not heard of this being done before, but I`m sure it`s possible.
    And the chances of the CAA allowing them to fly over `ere? Probably zero!

    wouldn’t you need to make the combustion chamber out of modern material as well,iirc the orignals were made of welded steel that deformed with use.
    also i think i read thet the total life of these engines was about 25 hrs total.
    so unless he has a lot of jumo’s i hope he intends to improve them somehow ?

    light hearted tsr2 what-iffery

    stratos 4 has it’s good bit’s, like well modeled tsr2’s [on the out side], i’m not sure how the real test pilots would have liked the seating though [motor cycle style],and i’m not sure how the tsr2 would have handled at over 100,000 feet.
    also when were tsr2’s truck takeoff with jato and normal landing
