I've been looking around at hobby sites.  It might be difficult to find a Supermarine subject that is not an "Aircraft That Shall Not Be Named".  Maybe this should be de Havilland? Or Avro?  Plenty of models to choose from on that regard.

Supermarine GB feeler
Posted by Bish on Thursday, August 27, 2020 3:55 PM

For those who don't know, i have a dislike for a certain British aircraft thats has almost divine status in the UK. And this has become a running joke on the forum. And when i put out a feeler for a Messerschmitt GB certain comments were made alluding to this particular aircraft. So, i thought you know what, alongside the Messerschmitt GB, i will host a Supermarine GB as well.

The GB will be open to any subject built by Supermarine from its creation in 1913 as Pemberton-Billing Ltd, through its take over by Vickers-Armstrong in the late 20's ( though of course the Supermarine name was still in use until the 50's)until that company was merged to form BAC in 1960.

Subjects built by Vickers before the take over of Supermarine are included as well. These Wiki pages list both Supermarine and Vickers subjects that can be included.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers-Armstrongs

Like the Me GB, this will start on Jan 1st and run throught 2021.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
