I read the sad news in the Military forum...
May he rest in peace.

Agreed.

Did you notice that the mods shut down the site this evening while they "sorted out the morons" ?

Some of us have had to live with the loss of fellow professional colleagues and dear friends. I am still in contact with the wives of several friends who never made it.

Thankfully I did.

You will never find a fighter pilot down in Hell............they all go elsewhere.......

Bullet 580 Airship?

World’s Largest Airship Inflated At Alabama Cattle Barn | TheTechJournal.com

Yours AGAIN. :ok:

Thanks Mate!
Just the finishing touches...

Done!

Check my post 1162 above.

Just sk and me around..............SHOOT......

Holy s##t mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That just has to be a project only - possibly WW2.

Good grief, HappyPass! What is that?

Not only a flipped piccie but a flopped aircraft?

Re-read it.
You mean the whole Pprune site, not only the thread?
I didn't notice, was fighting (and winning) against a mammoth portion of homemade Beef Noodles, plus beer.
The Real McCoy, if you ask me... :ok:

Y'mean specifically or generally? (hint, hint, hint...)

That has to be twin finned or it ain't got any directional stability.

Come to think of it, there wouldn't be any anyway.

I humbly suggest that it never flew.................

H tail, I'm positive it never flew, nor was built.
Even its "big brother" was cancelled (but at least one exemplar was built).

hmmm... looks like someone's nearing 4k... :ok:

Real McCoy… Norman…. Selby…..

Not the boxer, Reg
The real McCoy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Right. That's where I found it…….

Would that be some sort of autogiro, perchance?

Looks similar to a Miles M22 that also remained on the ground.:\

Not an autogyro, Mate is closer.
Only, the Miles M-22 was submitted, this one was projected to satisfy a specification.

Not flipped.

First try at this competition so this may be way off the mark. Looks Italian WW2 era, Cant maybe?

BL

Evening brokenlink, and welcome to the SC thread.
It is a WW2 project for sure, but it's not Italian.
You might want to check the other side of the field.

Was the big brother Grumman XF5F Skyrocket ?

Nope.
The big brother had a power operated turret armed with cannons, and I think this one did too, since the specification was the same.
