Favorite plane never built (or perhaps as a prototype).

The main reason SSTs were abandoned, is because of the environmental effect it on the upper atmosphere.

Vickers Vireo, potentially the first monoplane carrier fighter.

Leading to the Vickers Jockey, but as a carrier fighter.

An early Seafang instead of the Seafire with Merlin-engine driving 3-4 blade prop, but with the Seafang's wider undercarriage would have been nice in place of the Sea Hurricane, Fulmar, Firefly and Seafire. Essentially a Seafire with a Seafang wing. With the A6M-like retrograde move to wingtip fold, we'll need wider lifts on the earlier armoured carriers.

The Seafang was powered by a Griffon was it not? The six blade contra rotating prop usually means a Griffon 85 with 2350hp.

Yes.

I would like to see a working Hawker Tornado, just to see the pictures at start up, flames coming from every orifice like a metal dragon.

Dude... you need to quote REPUTABLE well researched sources, not hearsay...

A good candidate for at least a guest appearance in the Blackhawks.

I still like the Fletcher FL-2. Most Kiwis should be familiar with Fletcher's planes.

Way cool!

That does look nice.
