Stew Dapple Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I think that jet designer later went on to work for Gerry Anderson on 'Thunderbirds' Cheers, Stew 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madoc Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hot damn! That is about the coolest looking jet to come from Britain - ever! I've long wanted to see one in kit form and soon it will exist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britman Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Good reason to have left English Electric alone to build the upcoming TSR2! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albeback52 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) I'd love several but, (a) in styrene rather than resin and, (b) not at that price anyway! Guess I will pass on it.. Great subject though. Allan Edited August 15, 2018 by Albeback52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britman Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 As understand it , it would have better under Wartons control than Weybridge. Just my personal understanding having read"the story" several times over the years from different sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff_B Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Nice but i wish they had gone for the winner of the competition for the requirement the Fariey Delta III, now that is an impressive beastie that Arnold could have a go at as would go well with their F108 Rapier 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Now that would look nice with some kangaroo roundels on it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Great news, definitely be getting a couple.....hopefully we'll see a few more along these lines in the future. As Geoff says an FDIII would be very welcome... personally I'd really like to see something from the Hawker 1134 family or a Saunders-Roe P187...you never know!

Madoc Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 The FDIII would indeed be hellacool - and hella huge! That thing was an absolutely gloriously huge beast of a plane! But, if we can have the F-108 Rapier in kit form then we certainly can have the FD III! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I have seen it and have reserved a copy, it would be great if more designs were forthcoming, although it is a shame he does not have a UK outlet . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
