Aero A.102 - Fictional users

Now we cover some fictional users for this elegant airplane.

  • Republican Spain: There was a report of a high winged monoplane fighter that was being used by the Republicans, that didn't fit in the description of other confirmed ones. By a process of elimination it has been suggested that it could be one of the two prototypes of the A.102, however it's very unlikely.
  • Kingdom of Egypt: If the A.102 had been successful, maybe some British company, Gloster, in this case, could have bought the production license and would have started manufacturing, and selling them to some commonwealth countries, at an affordable price. Kingdom of Egypt could have been one of those countries.
  • Kingdom of Yugoslavia: Looking for affordable airplane fighters to equip their squadrons, it wouldn't be absurd to think that they could've been interested on the A.102 given the currency exchange rate, it was cheaper to buy in Czech Korunas, than in British Pounds, American Dollars, German Reichmarks or French Francs.

AERFER Sagittario I - Fictional users

We've been feeling creative, so we decided to draw some fictional profiles for the Sagittario I. Enjoy!

  • Regia Aeronautica: Considering that the Sagittario I is based on an airplane designed back in 1939, we thought that it would be interesting to see it in Italian World War 2 colours.
  • Spain: If Spain needed some jet interceptors, this would've been a good afordable choice back in the early 1950s.

B.A.C. (English Electric) Lightning F. Mk.1 - Fictional users

We start with what we hope will be a saga throughout our blog: The fictional users.

We have choosen two users for this airplane, Republican Spain and Rhodesia.

  • Republican Spain: In real timeline, the United Kingdom set-up an arms embargo against the Francoist Spain. It's feasible to think that if a democratical Republic had won the civil war (and, if that was the case, also went through the World War 2 allied with UK and France) that government would be a good customer for British arm industries.
  • Rhodesia: Once the Rhodesian Bush war was won by the Rhodesian government and, in order to secure their airspace from Angolan and Mozambican incursions, they bought some obsolete interceptors from the UK that, in Rhodesia weren't so obsolete.
