Might be a bit long, you'd need a radial engine
Mind you, it has been done, but not with a T2. See here, there are others as well. Especially the Bentley Meteor, also with a Spitfire engine. |

Would mind the aircraft in the background, no problem parking that. Just drop down vertical into a parking bay.

Spent 2 days drooling over aircraft end of May: National Air & Space Museum in Washington, and USS Intrepid in New York.
A few years ago saw the Vulcan flying at an airshow |

Vulcan low pass, the best ever moment in an airshow - great plane, great history, and awesome sound

Hi guy's, just a heads up. If you want to see the Vulcan flying then this is your last chance to see it this year. XH558 will be grounded after this year's flying season.
If you want to see it do a google for it to get date's. Its doing a big tour at the end of this month. |
