Classic British Flight Sim

Re the RAF colour schemes, my understanding is that those coded XB had the PRU blue underside, whilst those coded XD had the silver underside (plus a lower demarkation line). This is broadly in line with what has been said as the XB ones were intended for RAF Germany and the XD ones were intended fo...

Hi Chaps

My 2nd and third are the same as Peter has already listed (ie DH110 and Hunter), although I think that the DH110 did it in 1952 just a couple of months before the Hunter.

Hi Chaps Well, this is a very informed forum! :smile: Without giving to much away (for now at least!)................ Well done Gordon (Anzaq), Pete (Motormouse) and Peter Mcleland :wink: As far as I know - the FIRST British aircraft to exceed the speed of sound was the DH108 on the 6th September 19...

Hi Dave

Hi Chaps

The supersonic thread has got me interested.............

So here is a quiz -

What were the first three (different) British aircraft to achieve in excess of Mach 1 (and I dont mean in level flight) and when?

Paul

Well, keeping to the 'Swift' thread and also the taildraggers theme.........

What about the Supermarine 510? It debuted (publically) at the SBAC display at Farnborough in 1949 - it was a taildragger and was also (I think) a precursor to the Swift.

Hi Gordon

Well as you probably know, the Attacker was a very early jet aircraft. It always reminds me of a Seafang with a new fuselage and jet engine!

Apparently, the landing gear configuration was an advantage for a catapault launch where high wing incidence was required.

That sounds like G-AOJC Never Canbrian but painted as such and then reduced to a fuse when it got dangerous Latest I heard was it was dumped in a lake for the fishes to live in :sad: Garry Yes, if my memory serves me correctly, I think that's exactly right. Just an old fuselage repainted by a few e...
