What a great sound from those Saphires! Never ever got to see a Javelin in flight. Interesting to be reminded of such a short-lived aircraft when other threads are going on about the Canberra and B-52 longevity. Heard some tales about Javelin stall and departure characteristics which might explain its short service life, that and corrosion problems too??
Please do not try to read anything between the lines of these Typhoon Mods, they do nothing more than show what fun you can have with Paint Shop Pro and help to disprove the myth that the camera never lies - it quite clearly does.
The jet has ample thrust, excellent handling and IMHO a single seat version would have been plenty. Two-seater only provided to let their airships fly without having to do all that silly groundschool stuff and to put the fear of god into the jps when it comes to check rides. That and a lack of faith that technology would deliver.....
Not my work on the photos by the way, I just came by them
