Supermarine Scimitar

Navaleye. The Yanks had a comment for the Scimitar: "only the Brits could design an aircraft that kept two Avons sub-sonic." Try comparing a view of the Scimitar cockpit and intakes head on with the same view of a Harrier GR1 - it's spooky.

We did however procure and deliver some cracking aluminium dustbins that could be strapped down in a hangar and large enough to contain the fuel leaks from the wings and fuselage.
