I'm sorely tempted, and I've already got two of them!  :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! :)

I'd rather have another Valkyrie.  I'd like to see one with a lightweight turbofan engine.

Have you seen any of them flying around  Todd? They  must  sound  a lot different  from any other piston powered aircraft.

The RAF had/have a couple of them. I saw one at Shawbury some years ago, and it did sound very odd while taxying, but amazingly quiet when airborne.

I don't think it's the same model made in London, just the 'plane' one  :thumbsup:

We do see them quite a bit down here tho, the local school brings one in every now and again for the twin engined ratings.
