I was expecting a flying boat.


It's like what I experience when posts are about Hornets and Typhoons.
They're usually grey things with holes at each end instead of having
whirly bits pulling them along. And now there's a third Lightning as well.

Aviation history is up to its arse in Globemasters, too...

Yes -- C-74, C-124, C-17


Then there's the Westland Wessex, Hawker Harrier, Hawker Fury, de
Havilland Comet, McD Phantom, Vought Corsair, NA Fury, all of which have
been applied to at least two different types. There are probably others,
but they don't spring to mind at the moment. Oh yes, the Supermarine
Spitfire, of course, and the Vickers and de Havilland Venoms.
