For sure! Sorry, I said 36414 above; I meant 36314, known as Flint Gray. It was included in the Xtracolor range, and this is the only reason I can think of for it.

The colour quotes I remember from the time the F-4J(UK)s entered service were FS 36440 for the underside and 36414 and 36270 for the upper surfaces. There was talk of the upper surfaces appearing slightly greenish due to use of zinc chromate primer undercoat.

I had to look it up as well, in order to remind myself of what I knew it as back in the 1980s, having moved from Dublin to Croydon in 1982. I knew it both as the Thrupenny Bit and by its official name, which was the NLA Tower. I didn't know until now that it was designed by the office of Richard Seiffert, who also designed the Natwest Tower and Centrepoint.

I think Hasegawa gave the kit a Martin-Baker Q7, but a Mk 5 would be more appropriate. Q7s equipped F-104Gs IIRC. Neat job so far, should be a nice result.

My understanding is that it'll provide F.8 and FR.9 options

Looking at the Fox-Two info on the Mirage 2000, I see FS 34079 and FS36231, a dark green and a medium grey respectively. That would translate for me to A615, Gris-vert Jaune Foncé, and A610, Gris-bleu Moyen Foncé. I find it interesting that the French dark green is classified as a grey in the AFNOR standard.

That was quick, well done! Chain Lightning is correct.

Thanks Giampiero. Here's my question. Name a Second World War era US aircraft prototype, whose name shared a word with the title of an early eighties hit from The Pretenders.

I think we're talking about something in which Heinkel were involved. The two engineers were Von Ohain and Whittle and the event was the first flight of the Heinkel He178, the first aircraft to fly that was powered by a turbojet engine.

Bang on, Paul, Wellesley/Wellington it is. He was baptised in Dublin at St Peter's Church at Aungier St, but where we was actually born appears to be a matter of conjecture. Suggestions include Merrion St in Dublin and Dangan Castle, near Summerhill in Co Meath. His baptismal font was donated to St Nahi's church in the Dublin suburb of Dundrum.

Thanks Robert, but not the Viscount I'm afraid. Two Vickers aircraft types, different names, named after the same person.

Thanks Seán. Here goes. Either name of two aircraft, which connects Vickers at Brooklands with Dublin and possibly Co. Meath in Ireland.

Opposite of Allison to RR engine change suggests Twin Mustang to me. P-82B?

I've a bunch of Corsairs and a Dynavector Fairey Gannet,, so I'd like to have a go. If the Typhoon passes muster, I wonder if I could be in with a Westland Wyvern. I've a few of those too, not to mention plenty of Typhoons.
