Am I right in thinking that the P.8 was intended to be the ultimate fixed wing Lightning, solving all the issues with missiles and fuel range?

It was to spec F.155 but had it been accepted it's likely it would have supplanted the Lightning at some point. I can foresee it with similar development or belly tank, bigger fin and possibly more missiles under the wings. There was a two seater drawn up, with the second guy behind the pilot.

Looking good Lee  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Looks good.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
