It would be a great temptation to re-engine with suitable turboprops.

Allison 250's or something equivalent in size and power would be the best choice, IMHO.  I suspect going with larger engines like the PT6A, TPE331, or Astazou would be a bit of "overkill".

I thought Valom had already done those, I'm got the Mk.II in the stash too.

EDIT; umm maybe not, I think I must have read sometime ago they were going to do the Centaurus versions in the future.

Yup!  the TF Mk.IV went into service in September 1945, the two prototype Skyraiders flying only a couple of months before that.

Just not nearly as good. I have loved the look of the Firebrand since I first ran across it, but it was never more than adequate to it's task.
Still. I will have to pick the Mk V up - and fake up a couple of 7.2 inch Burneys for the underwings. ;)

Same here, love the look. love the concept, just spoilt a bit by the knowledge that it wasn't really up to scratch.  Similar feelings towards the Wyvern.

There was a proposal for a 7.2" Burney recoilless rifle to go with the 3.45" one.

Thanks, I did a image search and found pics of those, just didn't think they would be mounted on an aircraft so wasn't sure. I guess it wouldn't be much different to those 'bazooka' type rp launchers the USAAF used during WWII

 Sorry to be late in replying - but already ably answered, I see. :smiley:
 
  Although they seem never to have been prototyped and trialed, the first of the British Secrect Project books noted a number of early
jets intended to mount large automatic recoilless rifles in the wings. The 7.2 is pure fantasy - but I am prone to excess.
