Wash your mouth out with soap and water! That was a horrible, horrible aircraft - the only one I’ve ever heard of where engaging afterburner produced reduced rather than increased thrust.

Good site on it here though: http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/javelin/index.php

I couldn’t agree more, pdf27: the Gloster Javelin was a horror. This from the nephew of a teacher of mine who flew the thing.

The F4 Phantom is proof that with enough power even a brick will fly. A deadstick landing in one of those was referred to as a ‘crash.’

Jets I like.

He 280

And again.

The HE-280 flew in 1941 and was more manoeuvrable an aircraft, in a dogfight no less, than the FW-190. Had this aircraft gone into production WW2 could have been very different.

HE 162

And again.

Given how quickly the aircraft was designed and put into production it was a wonder it did not have serious flaws but, while it took a skilled pilot to fly, by all accounts it was a nice aircraft.

Finally the AR-234
