  3. Tiny point Stuart, during my RAF days we never used the word ‘Afterburner’ (that’s a yanks phrase), we referred to it as ‘Reheat’ (Or more usually ‘plugging the heaters in!).

  5. Yes, particularly Advanced stealth UAVs such as the RQ-180.

  6. Unfortunately it’s existence is still pure conjecture. But who knows? I would love it to be true!

  7.  @Phil_AKA_ThundyUK  - Great! I’ll look forward to that. (What’s your source for that by the way?)

  8. It’s first flight was in 1965. I don’t think kits of it were produced until the very late 60s/early 70s.

  9.  @Backwardlooking  ‘1964/1965 are the early 1960’s’ - interesting. So I guess by that reckoning 1968/1969 are the MID 1960s then? 😝🤓
