Keep an eye out for a Gem or a Gnome and you might stand a chance. The Avon will give you an "interesting" power to weight ratio!

Would be more interested in this:

Even has the IV (AC) Sqn markings - happy days!
91 Lotus Elan SE Turbo
03 MG TF 135 Sprint (Partner's)
07 Alfa Spider 939

If you can't be a good example, then you might as well be a terrible warning

I did see that.....but

The aircraft comes with the Rolls Royce Pegasus Mk103 engine, not currently fitted to the aircraft but in a wheeled transit stand. For display purposes a photo decal engine blank is fitted in the intake as well as a full set of engine nozzles


:-D :-D :-D :-D

Fitting a Pegasus is no problem, wing off, pegasus in. Ideally find someone with the hands of a 5 year old, if not, cue cuts, bruises and a serious attack of tourettes. When all connected, wing on, tie downs and away it goes. :D
