F86 - Sabre - �Rolling Home�
The worthy successor to the Spitfire in the iconic stakes - an elegant and powerful design completely fulfilling the old adage �if it looks right it flies right�. Produced in 1946 and shortly afterwards found real success in combat in Korea, the Sabre served with many Air Forces, including the RAF, and was built in greater numbers than any postwar combat aircraft. Handsomely broke the then world speed record while still a standard military type. Over 9,000 of the various Mks were built and served in many conflicts throughout the world. The example in the image flies regularly in the UK and is the oldest combat jet still airworthy.
The image shows a section of Sabres heading for base at the end of a high level sortie - taking the quick way down - rolling into a split-S, power off, pull hard and last down buys the beer!.
