| Fairey Fulmar MkII? Fairey Fulmar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because of the horsepower that it has It looked simmilar to an RR-Merlin engine, so I suspected a recon-version of an Spitfire first because there whas many of them looking for Bismark and there whas some in service in the Méditerranée. But the weight whas to mutch and there hasent been any version of rec-spitfire that ben build in 600st. So I then whonder what else did flow whit an RR-engine whit that weight. Then it hit me that must i only looking for an reconplane whit RR-engine? The RR-engine whas mainly used for fighters. So i whonder if it whas the Curtis P-40 Warhawk, got the right engine but it havent the right takeoff wheight and it hasent been build in 600 numbers and it hardly been used for hunting bismark. Then a  hit me, The Fairey Fulmar MkII | |

Country:  | Is this the RNHF Firefly that crashed at Flying Legends Duxford a few years ago? I was there then, terrible

Country: | Yeah, I remember. I was at Flying Legends for the first time, with Chris. They stopped the show for approximately half an hour and then continued. I almost couldn't belive it at first, but after thinking about it, I thought it was the right decision. William Murton and Neil Rix, may they rest in piece.

Country: | Yepp, the Ryan Dark Shark.
Not really an unknown aircraft, like the Fireball, the Savage, the MiG-13 etc. Has anyone pictures or info about some of the more obscure mixed-propulsion aircraft? Knowing about the deficiencies of the early jet engine, those must have been relatively common in the late 40's and early 50's.

Country: | Not originally designed with mixed propulsion, although they did fit a couple of jets in the later version, I've always liked this design. | |
