Comments by "" (@Farweasel) on "The Martin Baker MB.5; Best British Fighter to Never Serve?" video.
True, although a large what if rests with why the hell did the damn silly ari ministry insist Martin Baker put a lousy Narpier engine into the MB3 when in the absence of Gfiffin they could have sourced a Merlin for it and had a viable very high performance aeroplane in 1942 or 1943. Beyond that - the Navy continued with the sometimes flaky Sea Fury for several years - into the early 1950's & Korea. Although not tested, the construction of the MB5 suggests it may well have been a tougher airframe?
