  | Avro Antelope Back in ye olde days of this site, Hot Space kept going on about this plane, the Avro Antelope. What the hell was it used for, was it used in WW2, what are its stats and was it any good at its intended role?!  |

| Avro Antelope Now this one I have heard about (being a Mancs Lass) and it is a bit tasty. I have a pic in one of mi books, but it is a bit crappy. Anyone got access to one to put on here. |
