I can recommend a book about that ;D

Oooh yes, I must get a copy of that. I hope it mentions Dad's Yorks in there.  ;D


[Later] I did just that, found a paperback one on Amazon at £13 or so, but the price of the hardbacks is ridiculous, well over £200!  :o

This means that I can get round to building a Mach2 AW Argosy. It's not a bad kit and it does have a lot of potential once all the parts are cleaned up. I'm thinking of a pair of Rolls-Royce Tyne engines or jets or both.
I haven't ruled out a gunship but something maritime.

Love to see how you'd get an Argosy to do Mach 2! ;) ;) ;)
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

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

What about something like this?

In the case of turboprop, which engine could it be?

Makes me wonder, EE had several attempts at designing a Canberra fighter, but I've never seen one from Martin.  Hmmm....

I think I gave him a pair of Rolls-Royce Tyne engines from the Revell Dassault Breguet Br1150 Atlantic kit.

I don't think the USAF would have needed to Simon, about the time the P.12 was being proposed, they had F-102's with the F-106 coming on line. Plus there was the F-101, F-104 --------

Rolls-Royce Tynes

Tynes are HUGE compared to the Canberra wing.  I found that out when I made my Canberra Rudra Maritime Recce aircraft:



I'd recommend Darts or something similar if we are talking British turboprops.

That triggered of my own thinking for this GB Brian, thanks for the inspiration.  :thumbsup:

I doubt the RAF would have used such an OTT decal on the side though.  ;D ;D ;) ;)

T-56 from the Hasegawa Lockheed P-3 Orion kit might work on the Canberra.
