Back in 1942, the crazy Brits went one better:

Anyone fancy building and flying one of these 'Fleeps'? There's a replica at the Museum of Army Flying, but its only a static display...I think.

Default A hotted up Blitz (with afterburner)

At Corowa a few years ago a fellow turned up with a Blitz (what started life as a Blitz anyway) that had a jet engine mounted on the back. What made a demonstration look more impressive was a number of fuel nozzles in the exhaust that when activated gave a thirty foot flame out the back. He lit it up just outside the caravan park one evening and the constabulary were not at all amused.
Someone will have photos.

Well aren't those interesting looking rigs! For function or for show?
Here's a novel idea to get more out of our current equipment, put a CF-18 onto an MLVW chassis. It's a match made in heaven!
