As we know from the history books the great war ended after the 1916 blood-bath of Verdun in the cease-fire of Strassbourg.
During the chaotic post-great war period also known among the former waring parties as: "the unhappy compromise" military development especially in the use of the army aero plane stagnated.
However in the late sixties increasing demand for heavier than air passenger aeroships, like the Handley Page Brabazon caused the aero plane to become a focal point for military development.
In the early 1970ties Lady Christina Keeler opened the new Great Western Aerodrome at Heath row near London.
The first aero planes to be stationed at the new aerodrome belonged to 617 squadron of the Royal Flying Corps.

The high-powered single seat mono aero plane first flew in 1968. Powered by a single Rolls Royce twin Merlin Radial engine with 14 cylinders and 41,8 Liter generating 1700 HP, the H&W 190 became the generic fighter of the RFC until phased out in the1990ies.
Right so much for fantasy. The H&W 190 contains the composite traits of three well known WW2 Fighters, Points for the planes and for the engine.
Have fun.
By the way!
A WW2 veteran Spitfire pilot was telling a school class about his adventures during the Battle of Britain...
..."There I was" he exclaimed " Fokkers on my six, Fokkers below me, Fokkers in the sun. I had to fight my way out with my damaged Spitfire and almost no ammo in the cannon"
"Ahem!" The teacher interjects among the giggles of the school children.
"A Fokker" She told them "was a German fighter during the war"
"Don't know about that" the veteran snarled.
"All these Fokkers were flying Messerschmidt's"
Nope! Nothing there.
But you know how it is for us Y-Chromosomers, if there is not a big red flashing arrow with "Slammer! Click here for placing Avatar" written on it..
