And did you notice this on the "people who bought this also bought" panel:

Now this book would have been good if written by Dr Mike Pryce (aka Harrier), but as it looks like its going to be a stock book knocked out by Bill Rose i think i'll wait for reviews to reserve judgement.

That's what I was thinking too, the Flying Wing/Tailess book reprinted several aircraft from previous secret project books.

Can't help thinking this'll be mostly experimental and abandoned types plus half a book full of Harriers!

(Just re-reading 'A View From The Hover' so I'm in '100% Harrier Mode' just now.)  ;D
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! :)

Regards
Kit
