I did not imagine what was posted as a bit of fun would turn into such a debate. Interesting none the less. Thanks for the info on the Typhoon Nutty. Cowdrey is my kind of man. Lots of things we never know.
Thanks for posting the picture of the latest Puma Shy, good to see some of the stuff I designed back in 1982 are still going on the latest version. One of those things started life at 22.00 hrs one night as a insulation block from the Hangar extension roof. by 02.00 it had been fettled into a shape with the biggest bastard file I could find and by 06.00 the following morning plans had been drawn up to make the real thing at the Arsenal. The parts were test flown within a couple of weeks. they would not let me loose on the nose door seal, hence the black tape still remains.
