The SAR 1 m,ust have been an awkward thing to get into :think:

Garry

The SAR 1 looks beautiful. Muscular, curvy and sleek.

The dart looks like it belongs on the set of Thunderbirds.

Interesting vid Garry. Tks for posting.

Hi Eddie

Re the Dart.........Thunderbirds occured to me as well including the 'unreal' look of it operation

Garry

Interesting video, I only wish they had some explanation as to why the sea dart broke up rather than just ending there.

It probably did but the clip ended before it was finished :think:

Pilot induced ocillations caused the break up aparently

Good read here

There must have been more than ONE Seadart built because there is one sitting outside the Air Museum in San Diegos
Balbo Park -- I have some photos of it somewhere Ill try and get the Bu Number - Not only that but it appears to have been flown as well

Leif

Hi Leif

Mentioned in that article I linked above....I think it said four :think:

Garry

Cheers Garry

There is a Dart and a Blackbird sitting on columns outside the Museum at San Diego - they look very contemporary
actually I beleive the Blackbird is a real A-12 not an SR71. Any of you West coast ex-pats - drive down I5 to SAN
the museum is really worth the drive, and 15 minutes south (almost into mexico)at Brown Field there is a little museum
that owns a flying Mig21UTI and a Gnat

Plus San Diego is such a nice town to walk around
