Have you design calcs to prove the propellor system and its mounts Graham?

Last thing you want is to lose a blade or the prop assembly in public.

Out of curiosity, what does the RAOs mini backseaters weapons joy stick look like in a Tornado?

SR-71?

Hi Roger,

The Septics have been operating vehicles far superior to SR-71 for some considerable time now.

Recall how long it took to make the public domain and also ref the F-117.

Similarly, given the imminent retirement of Shuttle, I’d be highly surprised if they haven’t a manned means to orbit also off the public radar, that keeps a taxi available if required.

What a fortuitous thread, at last the legions of disgruntled and now silenced armchair XH558 detractors, have a new cause to vent their frustrations and negativity towards.

I look forwards to it immensely.

Viv la France!!

That’s a bit clearer now.

Note the density of the shadow cast by the its own vertical tail upon the inboard side of the starboard horisontal stabilizer. The very same density as the shadow cast on the wing and outboard stab.

All a trick of the light and not oil I would wager.

I had a chat with Stephen just after he acquired TT & he told me he’d been after it for years as it’s a genuine DX veteran & that he’d keep it for that reason. It’d be a shame if he had sold it as that’s 1 less P-51 we have. :diablo:

Probably took the gloss of ownership off it when the original TT was formally recognised.

Percentage of ‘original’ material in the finished products? :diablo:
