    Oh dear...if I had a few million I'd be building one. I think it would be in great demand. There was something about the J50, which I can't put my finger on, that endeared me to them.

    Wild to think that, 20 years ago, none of these engines existed.

    (at least, not in that form. I struggle to think of assemblages of older engines as "new" even though I think it's a perfectly valid -and quite efficient- way to represent lost classes)

    Indeed, and very satisfying that we helped make it happen. :)
