	Supermarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Upon election as an MP in 1916 he sold the company to Hubert Scott-Paine who renamed the company Supermarine Aviation Works Ltd. The company became famous for its successes in the Schneider Trophy, especially the three wins in a row of 1927, 1929 and 1931.
		The first Supermarine landplane to go into production was the famous Spitfire, which proved to be a successful design and, along with the Hawker Hurricane, entered into legend after its role in the Battle of Britain.
		The Supermarine main works was in Woolston, Southampton which led to the city being heavily bombed in 1940.

	Supermarine Scimitar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Supermarine’s last aircraft was the Scimitar, a brute of a ship borne strike aircraft and fleet defender, which was, at the time the fastest and heaviest aircraft ever operated by the Fleet Air Arm.
		In service, the heavy Scimitar was known to be quite a quite a handful and could easily get the better of a pilot, especially when landing on the small carriers of the Royal Navy.
		The attrition rate for the Scimitar was an astonishing 51%, mostly caused by landing accidents and midair fires.

	SUPERMARINE SCIMITAR - HISTORY
		The Scimitar's design included a tail bumper so that the aircraft could be rested on it for take-off, with the nosewheel high in the air, actually off the deck.
		Scimitars never saw any action, though they did help prevent a possible war when the Royal Navy was sent to the Gulf to block the increasingly hostile Iraqis from invading Kuwait in 1961.
		Other duties for Scimitars in their last months of service were towing target banners, providing radar targets for calibration of ground-based radar sets and a myriad of other unglamorous but essential roles.

		The fictional CF-105 Scimitar medium fighter is a starfighter in the Wing Commander universe.
		The Scimitar is being phased out of frontline squadrons in 2654; by 2655 it is completely withdrawn from Confederation service, replaced by the more nimble and heavier-hitting Rapier II.
		The Scimitar shares its name with the Supermarine Scimitar, a Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm fighter that saw service in limited quantaties.

		The Scimitar F1 was first flown on 19th January 1956.
		It served in the Fleet Air Arm from 1958 to 1966 on the aircraft carriers HMS Ark Royal, Eagle, Hermes, Victorious and Centaur, and with land based squadrons until 1969.
		The Scimitar was partially replaced by the Buccaneer in the late 1960's, though its role disappeared when the Royal Navy lost its fleet carriers.

		The Scimitar has the destiction of being the last aircraft designed by Supermarine, continuing the innovative tradition of the company.
		This was to be the first prtotype of the latter Scimitar (first flight 27.4.1954).
		The Scimitar had a short albeit successful career with the Royal Navy, the last examples being handed over to the privately owned company Airwork Limited at Hurn for training purposes.

	Review: The old Merlin kits of the Albatros W-4, Kawasaki Ki-32, and Supermarine Scimitar
		To remedy this deficiency and recoup its investment in the Spiteful, Supermarine created the Attacker, a quickie design that combined the wings, tail, landing gear, canopy, and systems of the Spiteful with a new fuselage and a jet engine (a similar strategy was successfully pursued by Yakovlev with the Yak-3 and Yak-17).
		Unfortunately, Supermarine's thick, laminar-flow wing suffered severely from compressibility at the transonic speeds the jet engine made possible (in this respect, it was far worse than the effectively thinner, wider-chord wing of the Spitfire).
		The Scimitar, when it finally emerged in 1958, was thus an elegant and capable airplane that incorporated the lessons of considerable experience.

		However, even at this late stage, the role of the aircraft was changed from fighter to strike aircraft, although it retained its four cannon armament.
		There are also very interesing completed 1/48 Dynavector Scimitar models to be seen at the FAA SIG website, and at Modeling Madness.
		Fortunately, I had purchased a Magna box for the Scimitar a couple of years ago, and realized their vac canopy was much more accurate (so looks the entire kit, by the way, although without decals, and with much more part cleaning needed).

	Hawker Sea Hawk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Unlike its rival, the Supermarine Attacker, the Sea Hawk had a nose-wheel rather than a tail-wheel, making it easier to land on carriers compared to the Attacker, which was the first jet to enter service with the FAA.
		The Sea Hawk also saw service with the Bundesmarine, the Navy of West Germany until it was replaced in the mid 1960s by the F-104 Starfighter.
		The Sea Hawks in Fleet Air Arm service began phasing out from first-line service in 1958, the year the Supermarine Scimitar and de Havilland Sea Vixen entered service, both of which would eventually replace the Sea Hawk.

		Alas I was mistaken as the Druid promptly summoned some carnivorous apes and instructed them to use his own scimitar and cut his head off (and of course quickly replacing it with the Head of Vecna...) Some time later, Group one decided to find the Druid and to check on the trap.

	Dynavector 1/48 Scimitar
		The Scimitar is the last fighter built by the famous Supermarine company, which earlier on had designed THE wonder : the Spitfire.
		Now I realize this is a very subjective opinion, but it is my subjective opinion, and those who disagree can go and get painted in their favourite RLM green.
		Intended as a naval interceptor, the Scimitar was a big twin jet (it is a bit longer than an English Electric Lightning), with a big thick swept back wing.

	SUPERMARINE SCIMITAR (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		With a lineage that can be traced back to the Spitfire, the Scimitar was a heavy carrier-borne fighter that constantly dripped fuel when on the ground, and was an unforgiving beast in the air, though generally well-liked by its pilots.
		An incredible accident record coupled with lots of hasty scrapping means that few survive today, and most people have never even heard of the last Supermarine fighter - the Scimitar.

		There are British fighter aircraft like the Spitfire and Hurricane, as well as the Supermarine Spitfire floatplane, a civilian race plane which was developed to become the Spitfire fighter.
		There are also examples of German military innovation, like a V1 flying bomb and the Me 163 Komett, the world's first and last rocket powered fighter plane, which saw action in the last desperate days of Hitler's Third Reich.
