I can recommend a book about that

Oooh yes, I must get a copy of that. I hope it mentions Dad's Yorks in there. 


[Later] I did just that, found a paperback one on Amazon at £13 or so, but the price of the hardbacks is ridiculous, well over £200!

This means that I can get round to building a Mach2 AW Argosy. It's not a bad kit and it does have a lot of potential once all the parts are cleaned up. I'm thinking of a pair of Rolls-Royce Tyne engines or jets or both.
I haven't ruled out a gunship but something maritime.

Love to see how you'd get an Argosy to do Mach 2!

Naughty boy,  wouldn't guess you had a birthday recently would we ? 

[Mossie]

Couldn't help myself!!!

[ysi_maniac]

What about something like this?

In the case of turboprop, which engine could it be?

Sounds like a challenge

Rolls-Royce Tynes

Makes me wonder, EE had several attempts at designing a Canberra fighter, but I've never seen one from Martin.  Hmmm....

I think I gave him a pair of Rolls-Royce Tyne engines from the Revell Dassault Breguet Br1150 Atlantic kit.

I don't think the USAF would have needed to Simon, about the time the P.12 was being proposed, they had F-102's with the F-106 coming on line. Plus there was the F-101, F-104 --------

Rolls-Royce Tynes

Tynes are HUGE compared to the Canberra wing.  I found that out when I made my Canberra Rudra Maritime Recce aircraft:



I'd recommend Darts or something similar if we are talking British turboprops.

There was the F-114 Dragon...

That triggered of my own thinking for this GB Brian, thanks for the inspiration. 

I doubt the RAF would have used such an OTT decal on the side though.

T-56 from the Hasegawa Lockheed P-3 Orion kit might work on the Canberra.
