Ah, and this little rascal at Cosford is? The second (& un-rebuilt) FD2. Is this the one that actually set the world speed record? Any one know why the FD2 stayed as a research aircraft rather than moving on to production status in some form? I know that the UK was seen as an industry of prototypes, but with something like this you do wonder where was the commerical instinct.

I think it was too sma' for anything but development as an interceptor, and the EE Lightning already was going to cover that base. -- Andrew Chaplin SIT MIHI GLADIUS SICUT SANCTO MARTINO (If you're going to e-mail me, you'll have to get "yourfinger." out.)
