LOL! Could do!

Mind you, we did make the Short Semew so I'll just shut up lol!

OK, you ask for it!!!!

Supermarine (Pemberton Billing) Nightjar!! Obviously someone got fired before the Spitfire came into being.

Hmmm… I’ve always wanted to do a Nimrod or the Avro Vulcan…

I don’t know… there’s something sexy about the Sea Vixen I’ve been looking at:

Nice - I'd love to do a Nimrod, although the kits are pretty rare - I do have the Vulcan though. The Sea Vixen was a fantastic looking aircraft, if very British.

Technically they were usually all American engines…licensed made copies of British designs. The Mustang used the Packard Merlin, not a a Rollys Royce made Merlin

Yep, an attempt at a cheap low cost ASW platform.
