beauty is in the eye of the beholder…. :p

thats why i say late model, low back, with attacker wings (inwardly retracting landing gear? ) not sure really

i just think it was one of those things that interested me 🙂

mike, are you referring to the MGB or the Spitfire? :p if you’re talking about the Mgb i beg to differ 😉

and concerning the power output of sabres in service – werent they derated for service use? due to the tempermental nature of the engine itself?

why????????!!!!!!!!!!!!

it is possible to fit wheels to a fish or dog….but why?!!

because i like the idea? 😀

call me a blasphemer but i like considering these things 🙂

If it’s history you’re screwing with I think conforming to the ideals of others might be a good idea. The Church of England owns St Paul’s Cathedral – doesn’t give them the right to paint it magenta and turn it into a nightclub.

thats not really a fair comparison.

a fairer comparison would be putting a big modern engine in a classic car, such as a nissan RB26DETT turbo straight 6 from a skyline into an MGB roadster

I dont believe for a second that buying and restoring an aircraft is the same as buying lets say a listed building, where you spend hundreds of thousands of pounds buying one, but are dictated as to what you can do with it.

ive heard of mustangs with learjet wings, and griffon engines… what is the difference in this instance?

Why not put your Sabre to better use by building a Hawker Typhoon or Tempest

simply put i dont like either the tempest or the typhoon (no offence 🙂 )
