MP,

A belated personal welcome to the thread from me.

Bugger!

It certainly is.... bugger.... er, I mean well done!!!!!

"The AV-28A was a fighter project seater twin-cockpit-centre, equipped with two engines Gnome & Rhone "Mars" of 630 hp or 800 hp and armed at the centre of its wing two 20 mm guns and three machine guns 7.5 mm. This project was presented in 1938 at the French Air Ministry, but was refused, partly because the pilot was not in the axis of the aircraft.

The French defeat against the German army in 1940 prevented any development of military projects of Charles Fauvel."

Your control mate!!!!

Thanks Martin, an interesting "what if", but sadly one of many Fauvel designs that never got beyond the drawing board.

Lets try this one:

RR,

Never seen that before. Many thanks mate.

A 74 Squadron (Tiger Squadron) F1A.

"Want to fly a Lightning?" Seen it, done it, got the T-shirt.

"Want to service a Lightning?" - no thanks...!!!

Per Ardua Ad Astra. Ad Astra was sometimes 80,000 feet. Way over the limit, but a lot of us did it. We could see Earth curvature.....

Seen 1.3 Mach with 120 knots IAS......ALTITUDE!!

In 1958 we were way, way ahead of the Yanks - thank you you Mister Petter. Now what have we got ??????

Tearful LM....
