Absolutely; the US flew four P-80's in limited capacity in Italy in the closing days of the war, and the Japanese had versions of the V1 Reichenburg and Me163, to name but two possibilities.

Italy, June 1945 is one of the options in this Sword P-80 that I bought at Lyneham yesterday.

Excellent!  I assume you'll be building this in the GB when it triumphs in the Bunfight?

However I did buy a Horton to replace it for the GB.

 

That's superb - I'll look forward to seeing the build when it happens.

That was a public information posting, to make people aware of the possibility.

It's a very bland option,   the least interesting option of that kit,  -  and I bought the kit for one of the more interesting ones (ineligible for this GB).

@John Masters;

 

I hope @trickyrich and I can count on your votes during the coming orgy of bloodletting.  There are some very interesting, unusual and (in some cases) truly appalling subjects to get our teeth into in this proposal.

Whilst I should probably be ablaze with indignation-by-Munchausen's on my co-host's behalf, that is very funny.

One thing you will quickly learn whilst sharing hosting duties with our antipodean friend is that if there is a bus around he WILL throw you under it, so you are well within your rights to laugh at jokes at his expense.😉

Greetings to the rocket fans here. 

 

I'm the primary contractor for the "Above the Karman Line" by 2023 program. 

 

If you had in mind a V2 or related rocket build in this GB, I think you might find it a home in Above the Karman Line in the event this one flames out. The V2 was after all the first to cross the Karman Line and WvB notoriously had a key role in US space efforts.

 

You might consider it your Plan B?

 

Of course, Above the Karman Line has to get across the line too...

Well, sorry people, we didn't make it.  However, it's been an enjoyable process for me and I'd like to thank @trickyrich for his help and guidance in proposing it, and to everyone who voted for it, whether that was to get us into the bloodletting or the actual Bunfight itself.

Maybe we can get something similar through next year, eh?  I'd be interested to know if any of you have any ideas for making the basic premise more attractive, by the way.

 

Cheers,
