Pics as promised, the colour is a bit odd insome. Combination of background, overhead lighting and a lot of ineptitude I'm afraid. Also apologies if I missed anyone

There's a fine variety of fascinating flying machines here! Thank you for the pictures.

Is XP 305 an early contender for the first supersonic World Land Speed Record?

tha's a hurricane with all the fabric bits painted humbrol authentics 'clear dope'. the engine arrangement was a
bit involved. inspired by the putnam book on hawker aircraft, i wondered what a halfway house between a
biplane Fury and a hurricane would look like, thinking it would have to be powered by a RR kestrel. orginally the
engine would have been the other way up, but it looked wrong. i pinched the engine from the revell He-70 kit.

I've had a few say that, stick some wheels on it and paint it blue! It's the Avro Z.101, a manned research version of Blue Steel. A real project with a fair bit of detail design done and would have been Britian's X-15. More details:
