Following on from the superb RAE Farnborough thread (a true 5-star read, many thanks to all contributors!), it struck me that this discussion could be due a revival.
I wonder if the any of the participants from the discussion mentioned above have a Javelin photo or two from the era they might dig out?
For such a groundbreaking machine I find it odd that to date, the Javelin has received few column inches on pprune.
Articles I’ve read claim the Javelin lacked popularity with the public, why might this have been? I can imagine opinion amongst ex-Javelin operators to be mixed as reliability does not seem to have been a strongpoint.
Cheers!
