Heston Type 5 Racer
I just read an article about an absolutely beautiful British airplane. The Heston Type 5 from 1939-40. It was powered by a Napier Sabre, 24 cylinder H formation engine of 2300 HP. It had an estimated speed of 480 mph. The tail looked like it might have been influenced by Messerschmitt's 209. Doe anyone have any information on this plane?

You start flying with a full bag of luck and an empty bag for experience. The object is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
