I think any aircraft developed to a specification, whether it achieved production/operation or not, should be eligible.Sir T wrote:That's a good question John, and I would think the answer should probably be yes...maybe.jRatz wrote:A question. Do you want to limit this to serving/operational or are designed & built, whether to a specification or as test & eval, but not employed in service also eligible ?
I had a plan when we first started, now I see other options in my stash.
There have been a lot of interesting aircraft designed for the RAF that never made it - Include those.
As for pure 'research' types... I guess so, it depends on how much input the RAF had maybe - I know they have been involved heavily over the years in test flying etc. I have to admit it's not a part of the service I know a lot about - Is the ETP School part of the RAF or it's own entity?
I'd ask you for judgement normally what are your thoughts - I'd say we'd allow it on a type by type basis, if the RAF had some kind of influence/input into it.
Paper aircraft, things cancelled before they got built, and others, more loosely connected such as research, perhaps not.
We can always go case-by-case and let the modeler make his/her case for inclusion.
So much for my Vickers Type-C Giant Bomber
