Hi,
I realise this is a little late but I can remember my Dad saying that when he was flying Meteor NF11's that quite a few guys tried Zurabatics, (cartwheel), and they all failed because the F4 didn't have the thrust and the F8 didn't have the inertia, (i..e couldn't put rockets and tip tanks outboard).
Slightly off topic but has anyone else thought the Supermarine 508 was just a Fouga Magister on steroids, i.e. straight wing, vee tail, 2 engines in the wing roots?
Regards
Mark
