How has this build not attracted more attention?  With the AZ SR53 now available, we can expect to see plenty more whiffed SR53s.

For those of you unfamiliar with the SR.53, it was conceived to meet an Air Ministry operational requirement for a ramp-launched, rocket-powered interceptor that was originally inspired by the Me 163 rocket fighter.

But I'm guessing the RAF wanted the pilots to survive the landings!  ;)

Beautiful, neat and inspiring.  :wub: :thumbsup:
Whatever.
