G'day Brian. :)

Nice score with the X-3 mate. Good challenge Karl, had me hopping around and thinking it looked as big as a Fiddler.

Now, I think this really is large - The PZL-Mielec M-15 Belphegor?

evansb 8th Dec 2012 19:56

Yes, Noyade, you are correct:ok: The jet powered PZL M-15. Your turn.

Noyade 8th Dec 2012 20:27

Thanks Brian. Would have been an interesting machine see and hear.

So would've this thing...

The truth is out there:

Model of the Avro Canada VZ-9 Avrocar (your subject and which did work sort of) and a larger vertical rising disc aircraft intended to be a supersonic fighter.

If correct OH

Lately they've been French orientated mate.

Could this be French as well?

Are we looking at a London football team?

one11 11th Dec 2012 13:03

Not an Arsenal, or any other French, product this time.
Not a Hurricane but related......

Karlark 11th Dec 2012 14:23

Is it a Hawker Hillson F.40 slip wing? Or possibly a Hawker Henley modification?
