+Trotski 832 Posted July 17, 2020 One of those particularly awful British aircraft, the damn thing was a liability, it was awful , and in some cases fatal to use from a carrier, it was as manoeuvrable as a 3 wheeled bus, and it was just basically crap in all respects......Oh and pig ugly as well. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Trotski 832 Posted July 18, 2020 As I said, ONE of those particularly awful British aircraft, Blackburn Roc was no better , I wont use the Defiant , as at least the Defiant was actually reliable, and useful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
