Lootenant Aloominum Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Quote The Argentine pilots christened the Sea Harrier ‘La Muerte Negra’—‘The Black Death.’ 801 [squadron] pilots would tune their radios to the enemy frequencies and chant ‘La Muerte Negra ees-a coming!’ — from Sea Harrier Over the Falklands by Commander ‘Sharkey’ Ward, 1992 Inspired by a talk given to my hang gliding club by David Morgan, who (as of this writing) is still the last British pilot to shoot down an enemy aircraft in air-to-air combat, I built my kit as one that he flew in the Falklands War of 1982.

Because it is a victim of my 'rough and ready' modelling style, it looks better in reality than in photos enlarged by modern computer screens. I added a couple more photos, including this one: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
