A few issues ago, Air-Britain's Aviation World had an article on this aircraft, IIRC about two years ago. These magazines are quarterly issued. The aircraft is more like a Dash-8 than a F-27

When I subscribed to Kit Plane, a magazine for home-build builders of real aircraft, Barnaby Wainfan was the resident aero engineer for the magazine. He had a series of articles showing how he went about building his Facetmobile (IIRC it was in the 90's). This happened after a lot of discussion...

While working as a security escort for contractors while the reconstruction of YYC* was going on while it was still in operation (*Calgary International and for nearly ten years), the fire alarm sound were disabled in the control room around the construction areas, mostly because just dust would...

Following all the comments here, the ship sounds like a write-off. I'm wondering why they just didn't tow it to a deep part of the harbor and scuttle it. It would have been cheaper to raise it afterwards ---

Thanks Ewen, my Dad served in 617 sqn from 1944 to 46, he was interested into anything related like that but I don't remember him mentioning anything about the Tallboy Small so I was very interested in it. I'll keep an eye out for that book too. What I have read about the Grand Slam it was...

Thanks for posting that EwenS, I was going to say that's more of a comparison between a Tallboy and T12. Would you know if there was any plans to put Tallboy Small into service ?

Some years ago, there was an article in Air-Britain's AeroMilitaria magazine (sorry, can't remember the issue #), it was about the Whirlwind and Welkin. It says that before the Welkin got it's name, it was referred to as the Merlin Development Whirlwind.

Schneiderman --- that's a fantastic comparison, thanks for posting it. Just a comment though, I've just built a model Wyvern TF.1 so I've a good idea how the exhaust is, but don't you think that the exhaust line is a bit close to the radiator inlets on the Type 391? It's barely above the upper...

That's very good Justo --- One of the things I've wondered about, is where does the exhaust exit, would you have any info on that ?

Maybe Boris got inspiration after seeing this

That would make it the same diameter as an A400M Tom, was it intended to compete with it ---

To add to the above post by sferrin, this is a comparison pic of the T-12 and a Grand Slam and Tallboy in 1/72 scale. I got the dimensions for the T-12 from a website which now seems to have been discontinued.

Not too long ago, there were some photos posted on SPF of these F-117 flying in one of the recent exercises

Is there another report, I didn't read anything in that article that said that's what happened.

Interestingly, I'm just finishing building a model of the P10 concept, as if it was the chosen one --

Hmm, I've got a Mirage IV and an A310 in 1/72 (not hard to make into an A330), and I've got a bunch of Tyne nacelles ready for something ---- it's buildable ---- Plus I've already practiced on one push-pull project

Now that looks interesting Chris --- Does the Airbus retrieve it too ?

You be better comparing it to an A400M

I think it's going to need some really gangly undercarriage, sort of like a B-58's

Thanks --
