The plane so lound it made the ground crew sick!

One of my favorite prototypes! I'll never build that kit though. You did a fantastic job on it.

Robert Podkoński
Oh yes! One of my favourites as well! Fantastic!

Gary Kitchen
Fabulous as always. Never heard of this before, sounds like they were just making names up at this stage 😄

Thx! Gary, I don't think this was an *official* name. Often, the manufacturers didn't give names to their prototypes unless they got a production contract. In this case, I believe the name was given to it because the propeller blades were going supersonic even while the plane was stationary, the noise generated gave ground crew severe headaches and nausea, even though they were wearing ear protection.

Loudest aircraft ever built, could be heard 25 miles away.

There's a recording on YouTube

Yeah I've watched it. And they thought sonic boom was a problem!
