 No. No, I absobloodylutely refuse to have the hots for a blue...seal woman forty feet tall. with fins. Shapely fins. No sir,  Abso..o..OOooooooooo....hallo, miss...

Ahem. Add to the above, a query. Did the Lanc have enough gound clearance to carry 
The Great Panjandurum?

Sometimes I worry aboot you. Then you post things like that, and all is made happy again!

No, a Lanc didn't have the ground clearance, unless it was carried laterally, and fired like a flaming Frisbee of Doom. Which, of course, would be totally awesome!!!!!!

Ahem, anyhow...I wonder if any of the officers standing next to the Great Panjandurum is Neville Shute himself? Because, that would mean that he was...ahem...On The Beach?

Perhaps they could have made a version small enough for a Lanc to carry, a la 'Upkeep' bomb? It would then have been a 'Lesser Panjandrum' or something similar.

Reminds me of the 'Dad's Army' episode that featured such a weapon.....   ;D :lol:

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! :)

Something along the lines and shape of a squirrel-cage fan ! Spun up by one of the inboard Merlins.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
