I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

OAP, remember the Fairy Delta 2.

Weren't the 50s amazing? A company that made the Stringbag creating a world speed record breaker? A company that made the Frightened producing the 188. A company making an aircraft slower than a train making the Buccaneer. Or English Electric. And I forgot Saunders Roe.

Of course there were also companies that remained true to type, Hawker, Supermarine, Avro and Shorts.
