Not MY claim, Porch Monkey? I suggest you re-read the post.
With 2/5 of the airframes lost to 'accidents' I don't think it was quite the technical marvel one or two on here are claiming.
Furthermore, its susceptibility to engine unstarts (indicative of an unsophisticated intake design), the need for exotic fuels, the need to dive through transonic drag (inability to get through 'the sound barrier' in level flight, never mind in a climb) all point to a relatively undeveloped aeroplane.
Perhaps had Kelly Johnson had a lot more time and dollars, and no pressing deadline from his military customer, he might have got it right.
