Guest greg Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Interesting that there is mention of the wacket trainer, but no mention of the twin engined wacket bomber, both of which I have photographs, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siznaudin Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Well that's good then, 'cause I guess I qualify as one of those (a blast from the past, that is...) - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siznaudin Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I've just had a look-see in my copy of "Aircraft Pioneer" by the Man Himself .. L J Wackett, and he interestingly enough waxes eloquent re the Wirraway & Boomerang but makes only the briefest of references to the bomber, of which he says two prototypes were constructed. Possible inferences are that it was less than a total success, or else its role could be better and more efficiently fulfilled by another product(?)
