What a great front door guard.......there couldn't have been too many Sea Darts built ?  I think it even went past Mach 1 in its testing phase......... 8-)

Nice shots.
Looks like a great collection.
Do they have any British metal?

Also, to Rifleman, there were 5 Sea Darts built, one was destroyed in a crash but the other four survive in museums.
It still remains the worlds only seaplane to go past the speed of sound.
