Some GB ideas - would anyone like to host these?

[Adam Poultney]

I've already got a few GB proposals up that may or may not make it to the next bunfight and I don't want to over-commit on hosting. There are a few more GB ideas I have though, if anyone would like to take one of them on and host it:

 

English Electric Canberra STGB (including B57)

 

Classic Airliners GB (a first flight before date would have to be decided, maybe some time around 1970)

 

Classic Airfix Kits GB (latest tooling date would have to be decided)

 

Harrier STGB (including Kestrel)

I know very little about anything generally but would be happy to offer soothing words as a co-host on the classic airliners. @Skodadriver is the goto for airline stuff to me

That's very generous and flattering but there are many airliners specialists on Britmodeller who are more technically accomplished and knowledgable than me.

 

@Adam Poultney In Britmodeller terms a "classic" airliner first flew "up to 1968" so basically it's pre-Boeing 747.

 

I wonder if it would increase interest if the "classic" was dropped and we went after a general "Airliners IV" GB? The Airliners III GB was in 2016 and since then the only GB specifically for airliner fans was the Boeing 737 STGB in 2018. A general GB for civil aircraft would allow everything from the HP 42 and Dragon Rapide to the A350 and B737 Max. 

 

I'm not actually volunteering but if nobody else was willing and I was suitably bribed I might be persuaded to host (or preferably co-host) an Airliners IV GB.
