British at its best.....

Oh Yes! No doubt about it! The choices of markings though, that is the question. I am sure that you will have your favourite squadron Gary, but mine has always been the Firebirds of 56 Sqn., although I am not sure if they used the F Mk 6/2a. Which-ever scheme you choose though is always going to be the right one.

Way cool the original (anywhere) muscle jet...

When I was very young, and I saw this jet, I remember thinking, this is the coolest meanest looking jet I've ever seen. Yes, I too love the F-86, but this plane just looked snotty and mean. I love it!!

Oh joy of joys.the sight of one of these beauty's screaming in just off the deck then sitting on her tail and going straight up is one I shall never forget and the noise!.
Thank for another dream plane Gary.

Gary Pilsworth, Britain's best!!

I said it once before, the U.K. should pay you for reminding the world of all good things British!!

I too love this one. Nothing is more breathtaking than seeing these buggers taking off and going straight up!

Thanks, Gary.
A British classic jet era.
Are you thinking in 1/48?
