Hi Mal!

Seems the flight made it to the airport! Thank you very much, I know you are busy these days! I appreciate you take some time for my feature!

Wow! 5 pages!? I didn't realize I wrote that much! Next time I'll do it shorter!

Thanks again!

Jean-Luc

Jean-Luc no need to make it shorter next time, with that kind of information and work to be displayed it's the length it needs to be long or short. Good job, keep up the good work.

Hi
what a great feature.
Excellent work Jean-Luc.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading it from first to last.

Thanks and cheers

Bonjour Jean-Luc,

Excellent review of these early jets! don't worry about the lenght of your text, only your subject that counts!

Félicitations !

Jean-Luc,
Yes sorry it took so long to get it published, the learning curve came down a little. The length is fine don't worry about that (just replace ! with . and all will great ) I enjoyed reading it and, More importantly I will probably buy these 2 models on the basis of your review/build, thanks.
Mal

Hi all!

Thanks to all for your nice comments! I really do appreciate them as they are good motivation to do some more!

Peter, I have a project on the go that will probably interest you! Stay tuned!

Chuck and François... vous l'aurez voulu! I can even make longer........ ZZzz! ZZzz! Zzzzz!

Mal!!! What about my !!!s, I wondered if it was a Mac/PC compatibility problem!!! I like my !!!s! Doh! What!? It's to much!!! Ok I'll make an effort next time! Maybe I'm too enthusiastic!!! :-)

Jean-Luc

Braggard :-)

I'm not! You should see the lousy car I'm driving! :-)

I said I can make longer... not I will make longer.

Jean-Luc

Oh oh...

are we getting in to a "size matters" issue here...tut tut... :-)

Jean-Luc...you just make them as long as you want... :-)

Cheers
Peter

Nice article, Jean-Luc.
Both nice clean builds also.

Excellent article Jean-Luc!

Sorry - I've only just had a chance to read it!

Just for the record - re- the missing prototype "P" on the Pioneer; according to the only known photo, the prototype marking doesn't seem to have been applied at the time of the first flight.

For anyone interested in the story of the E.28 (and early jet developments), Tim Kershaw's "Jet Pioneers" is a must read, with plenty of previously unpublished photos and drawings.

All the best
