Title: British Post War Secret Projects.
Post by: Flitzer on January 31, 2012, 10:57:09 PM: As these are quite old now, and rather than spread them out in individual threads, I'll lump them all together.

Many thanks
Peter

Post by: Tophe on February 02, 2012, 02:37:26 PM: My favourite is of course the beautiful twin-boom P122, while... I have been also very interested by the surprising (ugly?) P1061.

Nice to see you moonlighting Tophe, as I am... ;)

Yes the P1061 is ugly, and yet there is something attractive about it...?

It does look a bit like some Mosquitos have been too long together in an isolated pond, doesn't it ;D

It reminds me of the Yak - 36 "freehand" design. Form and function have their own beauty. The Fairey rocket fighter looks like something straight out of Flash Gordon/Blackhawks/Gerry Anderson.

Well done on all.

Post by: Flitzer on February 03, 2012, 09:49:33 PM: A few more from an even earlier file...

The second camo is a 'what-if' scheme. Its keeping the standard British pattern but using 'Jungle' terrain/theatre colours.
