That video was very impressive though, it shows it does fly (at least as a model). The stall looks a bit iffy ---- The CAD drawing shows the scale of the engines, is there really anything that big at the moment.

Thanks, I have a P1216 kit to build, I also have a P1214. I'm looking forward to reading about what info you have found.

Thanks for the link Michael, I just did ---

I like that Geoff, would you know why they chose the side-by-side arrangement instead.

And the 'tail-plane' too

A question; why would Langley have wind tunnel models of British aircraft ?

Use to watch bits about that on the BBC's Tomorrows World with James Burke

After a nice evening re-reading Vulcan's Hammer, I think I'll switch my project to have Z.122.

LOL! I had forgotten about that one Chris, seems I made the same Phil Butler comments about 12 years ago ----- Anyway, thanks for the type numbers to look at, I'll go and re-read Vulcan's Hammer again.

Yup! I agree with you there on the what-if angle. When I started the project I had talked to Phil Butler about what sort of serial number it might have had, he gave me something to look at and then told me he used to work in the procurement office for Concorde when it was still in the planning...

Well what I thought I had read about a smaller Blue Steel, doesn't appear in Vulcan's Hammer Chris. The attached picture had been in an old RAF Year Book and later I had read something about the missiles being a smaller variant of the Blue Steel. Having started to build a 1/72 model of this, I...

Err, right --- I've got Vulcan's Hammer :rolleyes: from you too IIRC Thanks Chris

I've read somewhere about a 'scaled-down' Blue Steel, but I just can't find where I had read that. I thought that was to be the Blue Steel II and that I had read it in an Air-Britain AeroMilitaria quarterly. Could anyone direct me in the right direction please.

I've donated what I can, but sorry, being on EI (poggy) it wasn't much.

Watching the first flight of the XP-82 after it's restoration a few weeks ago, the pilot did the same thing when it landed. Admittedly, doing it in something this big certainly would get the pucker factor up I think.

If all this FOD is being left inside these few USAF aircraft, what about the thousands of civilian aircraft rolling off the production line ?

OK, maybe I'm misunderstanding what "Initial Capability" means then ---

That's how I read the announcement, it's only a year away. It would suggest to me there's an aircraft already flying ----

Just read this on MSN https://a.msn.com/r/2/BBVycFe?m=en-ca&referrerID=InAppShare

Does that mean it's already being tested then ?
