I say get the BBC to do a documentary about the aircraft, presented by Jeremy Clarkson!
OR get it featured on top gear
they need a celebrity face to speak for them! (Both projects)
problems with the blades?
haha its a good sport 😀 ive never jumped anything like that, but i jumped over a few of my friends speedboats on holiday last year 😉
Those two are crazy though, those kites look to be out in winds well over their wind range tbh (badtimes if you’re not careful)
Unfortunately the knee injury I sustained two years ago as a result of a FUBAR landing on a beach two years ago meant that the RAF wouldnt take me 🙁
Heres the result of using a big kite in waaaaaaaaay too much wind! had a graze going all up the underside of my left arm and the side of my chest

You are right, thats right up there with the time I confused an Argosy with Concorde……

:diablo::diablo::diablo:
From memory I think it was meant to be based on an Avro ‘what if’
You’re correct about the M.39 Libellula though, it was to test the idea for a proposed bomber.
🙂 muahahaha my geekish knowledge of aircraft kicks in again (or rather wikipedia :diablo: )
That is a Vickers Type “C” design drawn up to a WW 2 specification for 6 engined longe range bombers. Its on the cover of “British Secret Projects, Fighters and Bombers 1935-1950” by Tony Buttler.
Only £139 from Amazon !!!!!!!!
:rolleyes:
Well i cant see myself getting that book anytime soon :diablo:

Jolly good looking aircraft in my opinion 🙂

Not a harrier though 😉 points to anyone who can work out what it is :diablo:

It was interesting discussing perceptions of the half anf half Hampden restoration as well………… cost -driven methinks.
Confuzzle?
