What a great thread.

Will post some faves later.

Sometimes the aircraft that don’t make it into service are by far the most interesting eg YF-23 looks much cooler than F22.

Nice. Mach Loop?

Indeed! 🙂

Been trying to get out there for about 3 years. Every time I get close, something happens to cancel my day off, weather packs up, etc. The only time I actually set off I was the the innocent third party in someone else’s car accident half way there, and had to catch the train home.

wow, brings me back memories of being a Space Cadet!!

Also, have an inkling to go and buy some Airfix hahaha
