Well mate, 042 was up for less than a minute and I've deleted it.

Standby for another, and if anyone gets off-pissed you may respond.

OK mate - NOT A BIPE:

Thanks LM, indeed not a bipe, but that wasn't my reason, see below!

Sorry 'bout that; I didn't see it so hope nobody else did! Same reason as the other day, info about it on another computer!

Are the clouds a red herring? IAW did the thing really fly (or was it yet another "Design 'B'"?)

I come back, but I go again, back soon!

A project; one of many, none flown. However, a spin off of this project did evolve into a small fighter that was flown, but it didn't enter service.

Not Hawker, but right decade, seeya soon!

So, not a Folland.... Assuming Gnat was a Midge gone in service......

Something for F.6/42

(Boulton Paul P.99, Boulton Paul P.100, Hawker Type P.1018, Hawker Type P.1019, Hawker Type P.1020, Folland Fo.117a, Miles M.42, Miles M.43, Miles M.44)

Gone shopping.

One out, one in! I'm back now.

I said it wasn't a Hawker, but I didn't say it was British 'coz it wasn't.
