Good evening people!
Once again, I am flummoxed as to how secret our projects can or can't be !?!
I have just became the proud owner of Aerocraft Models (I must add for the sake of conformity, that other Model Brands are available), Fairey Tactical Strike Aircraft GOR.339 Project 75.
Now, whilst meandering over the kit, I noted the decals are either for a "Hi-Viz" or "Lo-Viz" aircraft. Knowing what I know so far about this aircraft (and it's rich non-history), leads me to know the actual sum total of diddly squat. I am either directed to the TSR2 (which obviously was it's far better non-successor), or back to Aerocraft Models, telling me the kit is available!!!
Now, apart from a small paragraph with some words stating Fairey had something down on paper on their Drawing Board - but it was rejected from the off, I can live with. If this becomes a what-if model I can also live with, what I cannot live with however, is that they have provided 2 sets of serials; either XR75(0-9) or XS24(0-9).
XR serials relate to the EE Lightning fleet and XS were mostly Folland Gnat then Andovers etc.
To do this aircraft true justice I need some slice of heaven with the perfect information needed to give it a home and a serial it can rest with. If the Air Ministry / Ministry of Aviation never subscribed the use of RAF Serials then both I (and a similarly-named model company mentioned earlier), are up the proverbial shizz creek without it's paddle!
Over to you and Good Luck!
