The Wiki:

The Handley Page HP.88 was a British research aircraft, built in the early 1950s for Handley Page to test the aerodynamics of the Victor crescent wing design, and was intended to be a scaled-down version of that aircraft.

Flight Instructions:

-Standard Flight Controls
-VTOL for Flaps
-Trim for Trim
-G to Retract Gear

For Takeoff:

Flaps to 25% and Throttle to 25%. Begin rotating at 140-150 mph. Once airborne, Retract gear and Flaps, then increase throttle to full speed. She needs a smidge of trim for level flight at top speed (Approx Mach 0.9)

Features Custom Gear and Custom Decals

As Always

Platinum build? I'm hoping to hit it with this beauty. Thank you to @GenderIsMyMailbox for the suggestion. As always, please let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement or if there is a vehicle you would like to see recreated. Thank you so much for stopping by, and enjoy your flight!!

    @JettStorm It actually used the fuselage of the Supermarine Attacker as a base. Good eye and thanks for the upvote!!

    It looks like the love child of the Gloster Javelin and the Supermarine Scimitar
