Introduction

Following the introduction of the original Super Swallow it was decided to further develop it to meet the FAA ongoing requirements and implement new technologies into the airframe.

The wings where significantly clipped with the inner control surfaces being altered to act for both pitch and roll. This lead to the nickname of "The British Cutlass" due to similarities with the Vought Chance aircraft of the same era.

External weapons pylons were added for both AA and AG purposes

Re-heat systems were added to both engines (similar in nature to the type employed on the Gloster Javelin)

Flight system was altered to suit the new style along with alterations to the aircrafts decals.

Controls

AG1= turn on engines
AG2=reheat (needs 100% dry thrust applied)
AG3= arrestor hook
AG4=close cockpit
AG7=bail out
