Yes, very interesting F-35 pic, but I had inspiration last night........revive the Avro 730, but in a stealthy form!

Deathjester, is this a realisation of the Tempest from John Nichol's book Point of Impact?  I've not actually read it, but I'm familliar with the plot line & it involves an investigation into an advanced RAF jet that was continuosly crashing but being ignored by the authorities, based on his own investigations of the crashes of Chinook HC.2's.  Nice build by the way!

No, I read that book a few years ago, and I always thouht that it was a sideways dig at EuroFighter.  Apparently the MOD were really mad at Nichols abot that book.
    No, the Tempest is pure Whiff, based on the TSR2, but designed for air superiority.
