Yup, the first prototype Hawker Tornado, now the A6M2s are out the way back onto British stuff.

Also very underpowered, there were two in the Manchester, replace them with a pair of Merlins on each wing and you have a Lanc.

There were quite a few variations of the Tornado with radiator changes and powerplant changes, never really worked out but lessons learnt were put into the Typhoon, Tempest and Sea Fury, comparing them all and the lineage is quite obvious.

now hold on there a cotton picking minute inky,

two engines to keep the manchester in the air, but they have to use four, thats 4 on the lancaster, even my maths makes the original engine quite good
beautiful profile by the way

The thing I always like best about Hawker aircraft is that you can kinda of see the next design in the previous one, this one already has some Typhoon and tempest looks to it.
