Very nice Baz.

One JNN (joyless newspaper numpty) nit to pick, the WSJ didn't use photos on the front
page in the 1950s. Also they used a six column layout.

Maybe reform it as a Flight article?

That is one sweet, er, MEAN looking aircraft. Nice concept and execution!
My mind is like a compost heap: both "fertile" and "rotten"!

THAT IS A SWEET AND MEAN LOOKING MACHINE, being on the wrong end of that could be ruinous to ones health!

:bow: :bow: and  :bow:

Truly that is a magnificent build and the newspaper presentation is inspired. I work in the newspaper industry and I liked it! Try this as a what-if. The Avatar caused such a stir the compositors had to rejig the front page to show the impact of this stunning aircraft.

Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Well done sir

Heh, heh, but you're looking right at the article, Jon!  Don't forget, the whole point of What If is that it is one's own, personal alternate universe complete with its own timeline and laws of physics (or lack thereof) as desired.

Why, I've heard that, in some of the universes out there, United Kingdom Aerospace Industries Corporation itself never even existed.  Or the GA-9 Mk I Avatar, either...  

It's crazy, but people from other dimensions claim it is so!

 :bow: A very impressive build, and a perfect presentation. I don't think I'd've been able to keep a project this exciting under wraps for 4 years.

Ahh, so in your timeline Rupert Murdoch was born 50 years earlier than in OTL,
thus being in a position to purchase and alter the WSJ in the 1950s instead of
50 years later?   ;D

(p.s. I hope the simlilarly engined He 280 I'm hacking on comes out as well as your Meatbox.)
