MPN11,
...Please excuse a small diversion onto the topic of RAAF Sabres...
Of course, you're excused ! The "small diversions" are what has made this Thread the wonderful thing that it has become (aided and abetted by our endlessly tolerant Moderators).
..."And now we return to your normal programmes ... "
This
is our normal programme !
Know little about the F-86 Sabre, except that it was a good thing it came into service when it did, at the time of the Korean war. The Meteor was hopelessly outclassed by the Mig-15 (helpfully supplied with state-of-the-art Rolls-Royce engine technology by our Attlee Government). The Hunter was years into the future (indeed, it was said that the Hunter came in too late for any war in which it might have been useful).
Danny.
