Looking forward to this - I assumed the 2-seater is a straight non-whif build?

Well.... I had thought of doing it as a 'T-Bird' from another RAAuxF Sqn.

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

The idea that the RAAuxAF might have contined as a flying force beyond the 50's lends itself to Wiffery superbly. So many could have beens

VERY nice  :bow:. For the second one, may I suggest an Israeli one, ground attack '73. The WHIF being the Israelis bought/license built Gnats instead of Mirage/Skyhawk...

I wonder what the Hebrew is for "Gnat"?  ;)

Israel wanted to build both single and two seat Gnats under license.

How do you pronounce that anyway?

Not that it matters much, with the IDF's penchant for giving aircraft beligerant names they'd probably have called it the 'Blunderbus' or something similar!
