I'm fond of the look of this aircraft... canard delta, stacked engines, fuselage mounted AAMs, big square air intake !!! And a HUGE power (two rocket engines plus 2 PS-52 Gyron).







King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

I'm fond of this one too, Archie! You've got a real talent for the Raspberry Ripple paint scheme! This one looks every bit the winner!

Damn she looks fast!  Nice job Archibald, your skills are improving with each build that's for sure :)

Now I have two F-155T designs  - EE P-8 and Vickers 559- I've heard that the P.1121 is available, and I think some of you made cool Delta IIIs...

De Havilland entry was quite cool - a kind of twin engine F-104-

And the AW-169 is an incredible machine (a four engine fighter!)  :o
In fact this plane looks like a scaled-up, supersonic Meteor NF.11... a plane which was built by Armstrong Withworth at the time  ;)
