  1. An interesting aircraft but at this time there were so many aircraft which looked good on paper but never made it any further. Australia did come up with some excellent aircraft designs but time was just not on their side. Having said that there were a number of very good aircraft coming out during this period but were made obsolete by the jet engine. I do question the use of the 50 calibre machineguns. Britain had been using the 20mm cannons for some time as it was realised you needed something with which you could bring down your enemies aircraft a quickly as possible, a lesson the US had to relearn with the 50 calibre armed Sabre flying against the cannon armed MiG 15 in Korea.
