Blackburn Firebrand T.F. Mk.IV
MESSAGE:
I’d like to take some time to talk about how I’ve gotten here, and i’d like to thank you all for getting me to where I am now. I can’t thank you guys enough; from those who’ve helped me, those who’ve hurt me, and most importantly, those who taught me. When I came to this community, it came in with open arms. So many people liked what I was doing from day one, and that motivated me to be better and better. When I came in I was facing serious personal issues, SP let me vent a lot, and eventually, I found myself becoming a better person. Not only did the acceptance and support push me though fixing what had been broken, but also, overall made me feel a lot more confident. Thank you, Gracias, Xièxiè. I really appreciate it, and I hope to have more amazing memories here in this community, and hope I can do the same for others.
BACKSTORY: (FROM WIKIPEDIA ‘PARAGRAPH ONE, ARTICLE ONE’)
The Blackburn Firebrand was a British single-engine strike fighter for the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy designed during World War II by Blackburn Aircraft. Originally intended to serve as a pure fighter, its unimpressive performance and the allocation of its Napier Sabre piston engine by the Ministry of Aircraft Production for the Hawker Typhoon caused it to be redesigned as a strike fighter to take advantage of its load-carrying capability. Development was slow and the first production aircraft was not delivered until after the end of the war. Only a few hundred were built before it was withdrawn from front-line service in 1953.
