Thanks swanny  ;)  Thanks Eric  ;)

The first picture that I ever saw of this plane was on the cover of RAF Flying Review. I think that the headline referred to Mach 3 (an aspiration as it turned out ).

Cheers Paul

Found that site a couple of months ago when I found their Beverley... Looking forward to the Schneider Trophy releases...

Hi Charlie

Yes the S6 looks promising.

I have also downloaded the Attacker, although I haven't tried it yet.

Cheers Paul

the 188 was planned as an mach 3+ research platform but due to engine problems and the incredibly high fuel consumption it was just used at speeds about mach 2.

but very nice model anyways! willl take a closer look at it...

-edit: she even has a VC! alright,i'll get her!
