Without provoking another "Beadwindow" cry... suffice to say that the F3 boys regularly practice kicking the c@!p out of tupperware and tin cans.... As have the typhoon boys I believe?

Though in the typhoon's case it would be a shame to waste a multi-million quid missile vs a piece of plastic with an engine bolted on!

Your best guess there is probably not far off, given the turning performance of a classic probably leaves the tonka for dust, although I wouldn't want to comment on the typhoon.


IIRC didn't a sea fury get a guns kill on a mig or two? Could have been Korea, can't remember the details but sure it was the only such kill post WWII of a piston vs a jet.

Suffice to say Baffy's fantasy flight may well have made quite a big impression....
