The Vickers Wellesley Spy Jet, with an Airfix Lanc radar, U2-ish style, long range, high altitude...

(a last, last minute GB entry  :o  ;D ) .... or a 1 week build

This could only be british .
It's a Land Rover, NOT a Jeep .
Like a Jeep, but for gentlemen.

The pilot's feet must be resting on the combustion chambers! I hope he has thick boots.  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

You need to raise the poor guy's cockpit a little. Don't let him get slow cooked!

Don't worry he'll have a fully insulated cock-pit  ;D  :thumbsup: ...... actually I might just use the rear cockpit  :thumbsup:

That would have been the perfect build for a spare A&A Models La-200B's Klimov/Nene, set between the cockpit & observer's seat. ;D

There are even view ports for checking the engine without having to open the aircraft up! ;)

And Leigh strikes again 😆
This will be cool definitely 😎 👌
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .
