Found this excellent pic of XR219….
Look at this size difference. Even makes the Lightning look
old-fashioned…dare I say it… 😉

Great pics and the land of the long white cloud looks great 🙂 , I must try and get there one day again, My dec father came from N.Z, And Worked for the Union steam ship company of N.Z, I was taken there for a holiday when I was 3 years old, My only Memories are of a tin man like water fountain, And the ferry trip from Wellington to Christchurch, I was very young but can remember my older sisters looking out the port hole as we passed the wreck of some ship that sank in a storm with loss of life, Cheers for now, Tally Ho! Phil 😎

That “wreck of some ship” would have been the Wahine that went down in April 1968 with the loss of 51 lives. It was and still is NZ’s worst maritime disaster.

I reckon it looks like a cross between a late model Spit and a P-51.

(Imagine what a Griffon powered P-51 would have been like (Reno racers excluded))

That MB-5 looks fast even parked up.

I wonder, had it been successful whether it would have incorporated their ejection seats……..
