    Personally I’d love to do it in the smart civil racing livery it wore when flown by Peter Townsend, but I can confirm it will be in a SEAC scheme.;)

    agree Roobarb old chap! Royal Blue would be lovely!

    The ‘proper’ PR screen does take an external Mk1-5 armoured screen well, so can see why it would be on on ‘597. I remember PL983 having a screen made by some acquaintances near Bicester years back…it was cited that the distotion of the original screen was poor etc. I can fully understand that the perspex would not be that good at stopping a sizeable bird. Could always use thicker perspex/plexi!!!:)
    I have pictures I took at the first resurgent Schneider race in the IOW with 983 and her Britannia sponsorship and race number.

    Forgot to say that she is lovely in her scheme…well done!

    I have had stuff pulled and have had several annoying email chains whereby they finally agree I was right – no sorry or refund of listing fee!

    Regarding that Harrier, looms are absent, when she was at the museum, I put various bits back on her (as did other volunteers), it was the detail bits we put on, small panels etc. Chris has done a good job adding more.

    Did the weight of the ordanance carried very with the amount of fuel carried?
    Was the amount of ordanance carried affected after the introduction of the 5-A version?

    Herman

    yes, as stated in my post…

    My grandads memoirs cover this and how they often could only carry 2 if they needed 15+ hours fuel…ISTR he sank his Uboat with only 2 on board
