It amazes me that there were so few built, less than 130 including prototypes. Still, I suppose that that was not unusual with our military aircraft.

I have not visited the Science Museum for about twenty years, I really must do so soon as it used to be one of my favourite museums. When I was a nipper I used to be taken on a visit twice a year by my father. The last time I went was with my two nieces when they were very young (both grown up now with children of their own). I think they were the best visits I had as they both kept asking questions. I an looking forward to the great nieces and nephews being old enough to take on visits. It will be interesting to see what the next generation on thinks about the early aircraft. The comments from my nieces were funny enough, twenty odd years later they should be even funnier.

its one of those aircraft, where I’m sure I have seen it before…..but where?

I had the same dilema with your last challenge. I had seen a photograph of the aircraft within the last couple of weeks, it took me ages to remember where.

The designer probably did regret the vertical stabilizer!

Wot they using for engines…?

Still waiting for my copy, will let you know what they are using when it arrives.

There is only one word that fits the bill – BEAUTIFUL.

I have always felt that the Hurricane was too much in the shadow of the Spitfire. This just shows what a beautiful aircraft the Hurricane was.

Congratulations John Aeroclub, it is indeed the Phoenix Meteor L2. You have control.

EKW C-36?
