Not quite as The Goons envisioned it, but since it was powered by a Napier Gazelle, it's still a jet, right?



Since it represents a pre-service variant, the backstory is a piece of cake; it was purchased as a flying N.A.A.F.I. instead of a troop hauler. Because why not?  And yes, I understand that there are many problems.

The N.A.A.F.I trucks were considered essential to the morale of the troops in WWII, so why not modernise them ? Looking forward to seeing where this goes  :thumbsup:

I have had an idea similar to this for some time, looks like you've found the perfect steed !

I've also heard that Goons episode so looking forward to this one.

Onwards sir, onwards!!!

Just think of all that free heat from the Gazelle exhausts to boil massive tea urns!

Top idea  :thumbsup:  And then of course we can have a mass chorus of "I'm flying backwards for Christmas"  :wacko:
