Another jet I hadn't forgotten because I never even knew it existed!

That makes at least two of us!

Nice looking aircraft and, of course, a direct ascendant of the Learjet!

Who here thinks the early Lears were far sexier than the aerodynamically superior later marks?

Thank you Larry for sharing those!!!!!

Re. the Supermarine Swift, the F.7 XF114 fuselage is on public display at Solent Sky (formerly Southampton Hall of Aviation) with the rest currently in storage elsewhere in Hampshire until more display space becomes available with the proposed museum extension.

Some pages from Sea Vixen F.A.W. Mk 1 pilot’s notes I have manuals for the F.A.W. 2 and 3 as well. Unfortunately, none of these show pictures of the Observer’s Cockpit.

This picture taken on the USS Forrestal in 1962 clearly shows the offset pilot’s canopy. The observer’s coal hole is inboard of the pilot inside the fuselage
