QuoteBTW The first Fairey was the TSR but it crashed in an unrecoverable spin. The lengthened version was the TSR II, later named Swordfish. Even at Fairey, there was never a TSR 1.  :ph34r:
Not at home at the moment Simon, but the Putnam's Fairey book talks about the in-line engined S9 (I think) being re-engined with a radial and renamed TSR I. Possibly the author uses the designation to avoid confusion as he talks about it as being the start of the Swordfish's development line

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

Outstanding Simon, well done.

QuoteThanks. :cheers:

Yep, I'm based at the vast Derby site, but mercifully don't have to drive through Derby to get to it. Not a fan of Derby, all told. It's roads seem to have been designed by a pedestrian.  <_<
IIRC, and I may be wrong, but Colin Small of the Harrier SIG works at RR Derby.

About bloody time you got back!

How did you sneak past me for over a month?  :huh:

As far as Ekranoplans go, I'm presently converting the Airfix Boeing 727-200 into one of those beasties!  :ar:

QuoteObviously operationally it would have become the BAC Eagle GR.1, etc

Hang on!
for the era it ought to be either S.1 (as per the Buccaneer the other UK built strike machine) or GR mk1 (doubtful).
That or B.1 which is surely the most logical.
To win without fighting, that is the mastry of war.

Zen the S for strike is a Naval designation, The Buccaneers of the RAF just kept it for standards sake as the RN were the senior users at the time. Note that the Harrier, Jag asn Phantom all got GR codes and they came into service in the late 60's early 70's
