  1. I had no idea that the original planned armament was 4x 30mm ADEN. That would've made so much more sense than 8x .50 cal. What doesn't make any sense is that when they decided the ADEN wasn't going to be ready soon enough, they didn't just go with an armament of 4x 20mm Hispano Mk.V like on the Gloster Meteor. Since that was already a proven weapon and already in use by Canada on the RCAF's Sea Fury fighters. This is also the first I'd heard of T-160 20mm cannons being tested on the Canuck.

  2. Yeah, that seems like a crazy idea.
