Head in the clouds. Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Very interesting ' what if' and the first SB5 I have seen modelled. I have a couple of Anigrand kits waiting to be built but not this one so thanks for showing. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polo1112 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I really didn't know this curious bird. I find it looks a bit like the English Electric P1B, the ancestor of the EE. Lightning, doesn't it? The curious design of the wings could be the same? What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be because it was the engineering test article to see how a Lightning would behave at low airspeeds, so there's no surprise that it looks much like a Lightning.

KevinK Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Not only that, it was used to test the optimum tailplane location for the P.1. English Electric preferred the low-set location, while the RAE was convinced that a T-tail was needed. As we now know, EE was correct. From the modeller's point of view, this means there can be two visually-different configurations to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
