Comments by "Big Blue" (@bigblue6917) on "CAC CA-11 Woomera; Too Little, Too Late" video.
Seeing that there was another excellent video of Ed's coming up I was suddenly reminded of a book I had years ago. It was a small book full of aircraft like these. Aircraft that were just a little bit late, or never made it to production or were very limited in number. Always found it an enjoyable book. One thing we can see in all of these videos is the importance of timing. If the Woomera had just been a few years early it could have been a very useful aircraft to have if it was working properly. I do wonder about using it as a torpedo bomber as the external fuel tanks do look a bit close together. Was the Woomera the first aircraft to use remote turrets? I know the B-29 used them but was it the first?
