JET-POWERED SPITFIRE

[hushkit]

Hi all,
Here's a nice piece of subjunctive history: The Supermarine Jetfire:http://hushkit.wordpress.com/2012/06/27/the-ultimate-what-if-the-supermarine-jetfire/

I hope you enjoy this nice What-If.

We are currently working on features on the P.1154 and Fiat G.95 STOVL fighters.

I'm still very keen to track down any material relating to the Planet Satellite if anyone can help.

Thank you

The "Jetfire" already existed, it was the Supermarine Attacker ;-)

Nice comic-looking drawing anyway

Nitpicking, but the Attacker was based on the Spiteful, which principly bore just a superficial
resemblance to the last marks of the Spitfire, as apart from the completely new wing, a new
fuselage was used, too.

Thanks for the correction, Jemiba. In my mind I have such a logical progression from Supermarine Schneider Trophy racers to the Supermarine Swift that I omitted some details in my post :.

Soryy, as I said, I was just nitpicking.
And the Spiteful actually started as a Spitfire with a new wing, and with the advent
of the "series" variant, there was as much left of the good old Spitfire as is now in the
new Volkswagen Beetle compared to the old one.
But I agree with your imagination of an ancestral line.
