Are one of you able to help me out here ? Im having a debate with some rivet counting wanna be plonker. .... on another forum about 2 things.

1st thing!!......the hawker tempest WAS powered by the Britsol centaurus ....and ...the napier sabre engine....true?....i think so.

2nd thing!!....The HP Victor had a control "yoke" and the throttles were located on the left side of the pilot (like the B-29).....and the Vulcan, had a fighter type stick and throttles on the centre pedestal.....both correct....i belive so.

Not sure how i got into this....but people like this dork really get up my nose.....i suggested doing a google search to him....to which he replyed....'why should i waste bandwidth confirming what i know"...... ......anyway....whatever.

Just needed the homeboys to confirm Im not going nuts.............


Cheers

2nd thing - yes correct on both accounts. Rather back-to-front set ups, but a quick google on images verifies this easily.

So maybe that guy/dork should use goggle and waste bandwidth now to show him he doesnt always know everything lol

Thanks guys.. ..i normally dont let those kind of things get to me....but this prune...was really peeing me off.....
Cheers

Arr the plonkers .... Tempest had few engine types ... then grew into the Sea Fury with the Bristol engine , Marty , you should have joined , Vulcans to the sky !
