OK, I am happier with the fin now, and I added the shadow on the drop tank - so it's time to hunt down some more of these to do...

Yep, the intended engine (the Clyde) was stopped in development by Rolls-Royce, and the Armstrong Siddeley Python was used instead - In some ways it was a dead-end as everyone was developing jet aircraft, but it was good for the 'learning curve' on later turboprops...

It did see combat - in the Suez Crisis of 1956...
