Visit to the INTREPID
Sorry to nit pick but the Sea Hawk is actually a Supermarine Scimitar, at least it was when I last was on the Intrepid in August !
Very different aircraft. The swept wing transonic Scimitar had twin Rolls Royce Avons and was DEAFENINGLY loud. Sea Hawk one Nene (or was it a Derwent ?) and a straight wing.
I have been considering this machine as my first attempt at a totally original twin gas turbine powered model. Big wing, massive carrier type landing gear, perfect. Fuel in underwing tanks. Tailplane structure stiffness is the problem; perhaps when time permits I'll get back to it.
I do hope Intrepid looks after this airframe, there are only three left in the world
The unidentified aircraft is a tank with (small) wings.
