I second that Christophe! Glenn you are a real wonder!

Interesting model. Sort of a civilian counterpart to the G.1.

Fokker did some work on a design under the F-26 name, notable for being the first jet airliner design. Pity they didn't proceed beyond the drawing board.

I just love this one! And the jet thing, too (amazing!)  :wub:

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.
