More British military stuff?

One of the most aesthetically pleasing fighters to grace the skies, the Hawker Hunter (back when aesthetics went hand in hand with performance), was to be the base for a twin engined civil business jet.

Yes, come on Felix, spill the beans. My immediate thought was the HS 125 (Hawker 800) until I remembered this started life as the DH 125, designed & developed by a completely different company.

I only found out about a year ago after doing some research, and i found that such clasic aircraft as the Buc and the Vulcan aren't licenced, and therfore not alowed to fly in the UK!  But they do fly in places like Africa!

OI! whats wrong with places like africa? some of us live here and like i said before... worked with Lightnings, Buccaneers and hunters... no one likes Africa  :(

Hey Henk lots of people here like Africa! Its a cool place with interesting animals and foods. GreG is from Zimbabwe (he's around in this forum a fair old bit).
My godfather goes to Africa (either Kenya or S.Africa) twice a year on holiday, and a number of my friends go there too. Oh and one of my best friends is from S.Africa (but he's living in England at the moment)!

hahahhahaha... geez make one joke... heheheheh... I live in Cape Town, South Africa. We got the newest Hawk trainer here at the moment for engin test. If any of you ever want to come take a look at the last flying Shackleton please just drop me a line  ;D

I would just like to make it clear that i am not putting any country in the world down, but simply saying that it is unfair for only a few countries to enjoy some classic planes, which i would love to see.

I'd like to add a little about the forthcoming Eurofighter Typhoon Henk mentioned.

Take a trip over to http://www.dsbdesign.cjb.net/ and look in their forum. There are screenshots of the panel and aircraft in the Typhoon section.

I'm in no way connected with David Brice or the website. I just want to say that from what I've seen of this aircraft, it's going to be truly AWESOME.

I'm not a lover of fighter aircraft but this plane is unquestionably the exception. The quality is unbelievable and the fact that it's being released as freeware is nothing short of astounding in my opinion.

[Henk Hugo]

David is of course the person building our Shackleton for the Shackleton Project  ;D

[Jake Derrick]

I would like to know what the Shackleton project is?
I think that the Eurofighter typhoon sets the argument earlier on Freeware Or Payware!

I have had a look at the stuff, it truly is amazing.
When i tried to download the stuff it said that there was an error on the page, help!

[Henk Hugo]

Take a look at the website or e-mail me privately

My understanding is that the ftp server (to which the downloads on that page link) hasn't been set up yet.

[Henk Hugo]

that is correct. From what i can figure out, i think it will go on the RAFv server  ???

[Henk Hugo]

Gents,

I would just like to add that the DSB Shackleton will be payware as it is for a fundraising project. We need some serious cash to keep 1722 in the [glb]FLYING[/glb] condition that she is in. if you go look at the Shackleton 1722 page you can see she looks amazing  ;D

[Jake Derrick]

Sorry what is the RAFv server, i have worked out that has something to do with the RAF!
