    That sounds a good move Stan. Are the Heron props the Bracket or Hydromatics? As you say, there won’t be any external change. When will you have the new configuration flying…? 🙂

    Simple Question, – Simple Answer.

    ‘what was the best air to air fighter at the end of ww2 excluding jets?’

    A simple question, but there is no need to complicate the answer. ‘Air to air’ is explicit. All the people who’s opinions really counted, were pretty-much agreed, as Steve pointed out. If we discount other parameters such as range and air-to ground ability, irrellevant modern opinions and unqualified opinions, the Spitfire has to be regarded in the number one spot, – and rightly so. The factual evidence is overwhelming.

    In reality, pilots experience and ability won-through every time. Simple proof of this was that Luftwaffe veterans still flying at the end of the war went through allied fighters like a hot knife through butter, even when flying ‘inferior machines’.

    As a snotty little hangar-rat, I used to marvel at how my uncle’s sidecar used to smell just like an Auster…and offered a similar draft down your collar-stud and aural assault…! We were easily amused in those days…:)

    …and but and but….

    ‘But look at it on the bright side, the internet has made the dissemination of false information, somewhat-correct information, half-truths, gossip and innuendo more efficient than ever before’. 😀

    True, but you forgot drivel, – there a superfluity of that on the web too…:)
