Yes, if my memory serves me correctly, I think that's exactly right. Just an old fuselage repainted by a few enthusiasts..................Garry Russell wrote: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:

Just to hop in late - I can confirm that the DC8-54/55 would go supersonic in a shallow dive underpower amd without great treipdation or buffet
the Sled was built so damn tough that it just kept on rocking.

BTW Chris I have heard the story about the Citation X from some folks down your way who operate a fractional jet service

Hi guys, just joined up after monitoring this wonderful site for ages. .Just to add some observations to the topic. I also recently watched the Sound Barrier and I noticed that there was a jet aircraft, I believe it to be the Supermarine Attacker, that it was a tail dragger. I always thought that all jet aircraft had tricycle landing gear but here I've been proved wrong and I've seen this movie many times and that's me just noticing. I wouldn't have thought this would be practical as the engine thrust would be pointing towards the runway. Couldn't have done the surface of the runway all that good with all that heat blasting at it. :think:

Another tail tragger jet was the Jet Viking
I did read somewhere about surfaces suffering heat damage and that I think included conventional but low slung jets as well.. The surfaces then were relitively poor and in some cases almost every day surfaces.
The effect though of a taildragger would be like using a hot air stripper blasting a concentrated stream of very hot air.
