...a terrific idea... -non afterburning Atar (similar to Mirages and... S.E) -swept wing, STOL -can lob iron bombs like a Skyhawk -can carry sidewinders -DEFA 30 mm guns -rocket pods - LWF DNA It brings together, somewhat the best of Skyhawk, Mirage, S.E and Aermacchis... on Port Stanley airfield.

This is amazing, thanks so much for sharing it. I had no idea South Africa had MAW systems during that war. If you don't mind me asking, do you have any more information on these early systems and what aircraft they were fitted to?

There are also quite a lot of A-7's about and they would seem to be perfect for the job. As long as an integrated mission is used there is no reason why those airframes should not be able to preform the role extremely well supporting the fifth and sixth gen units.

It is very strange to me that they chose two such similar options. You would think that a relatively low-cost, single-engine turbofan design like the M345 or a BAE Hawk would have been included to really explore the advantages/disadvantages of the single-turboprop designs.

...fuselage. Sm-98. No data/not assigned Sm-99. This designation is found in the mid-war private notes of Ing. Ermanno Bazzocchi (of later Aermacchi fame) as a potential competitor of the design he was studying at that time of a two-three engines light-to-mid transport. Could have been a...

...ONE Cuppa but a few more of them. And then are the MB-326s, but that would really be a last ditch move. Plus, as said repeatedly, even for Aermacchis Port Stanley rudimentary infrastructure remain a big bottleneck. Maybe - maybe - screw the Pucaras and go all out on Aermacchis, 326 and 339...

Hey, the Greeks retired their A-7s in 2014. How used were the airframes, that's another matter.

I don't think there is an issue, really. It started with a statement (or rather question, I imagine) on the commonality of airframe between M-346 and AMX. To which I answered that it is minimal because the 346 started life as a pure Yakovlev product. This triggered a series of statements about...

The SM.97 was a triple fin, 4 engine, tricycle gear airliner study, while the SM.99 was a 2-3 engine transport (https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/forthcoming-italian-secret-projects.7394/page-3#post-137003).

I think Bladerunner was only making a joke Kaiser. Have a closer look at the markings... That said - there are some exceptions. The Aermacchi AM.3C was never produced in SA but was named "Bosbok" (Bushbuck) in Service. Conversely the C-47's that were upgraded locally under Project Felstone all...

Hi folks, an interesting feature of the P.108T was the capability of accomodate two fuselages of Aermacchi C.200 Saetta fighters, with separate engines, wings and tail surfaces. To load and unload the fighters, the P.108T was made horizontal by a tail jack. I found some drawing depicting the...
