Re: [TANKS] Not tanks but an Obscure and Cyptic Aviation Quiz
Hey Pete, #17. Got an assist from my wife, and she had clued me in some days ago and I didn't listen!! She had mentioned Dickens then and I told her it was questions about (mostly) WW II airplanes... Serves me right, so when she brought it up again tonight I did a proper investigation... Never question the wife, I find!! SO, Tiny Tim the ROCKET, I see now... LOL.

Re: [TANKS] Not tanks but an Obscure and Cyptic Aviation Quiz
13 according to wikipedia the engine was intended as one of two engines for the SR.53 but only two prototypes were built so i doubt thats it. Theres a Viper missile system operated by the royal navy, but that doesnt use the spectre engines.

Re: [TANKS] Not tanks but an Obscure and Cyptic Aviation Quiz
1 - its a two seater, so i assume 2 people 10 - awesome planes that the government lost interest in halfway through, and a beautiful piece of national heritage was consequently slice in half and sent ignominiously to the scrap heap? (Its true for avro; the poor arrow, such a beautiful and iconic Canadian plane. I will never forgive Diefenbaker for cancelling such a majestic aircraft. That terrible day forever lives on as Black Friday to Canada's aviation industry.) 15 - The original P51 mustang with its wheezy and underpowered Allison engines? (thank you British for building the Merlin, thereby showing the American's how its done. Commonwealth Power!)
