Thanks for the info MrZippy.
Thanks for the info MrZippy.
I have seen an old RAN magazine article written by a LT pilot saying 130 knots on approach with half fuel, full flaps, flap bleed air on (yes, it used this!), and "boards out". I have to assume this is with no external stores because he was doing CQs. Extrapolating, I have to guess he was saying:
EW = 23, 960 lbs
equipped pilot = 250 lbs (a larger piiot)
1/2 internal fuel = 4275 lbs
So approach weight would be about 28,485 lbs at 130 KIAS on speed. If the RN used USN philosophy, this would be 10% above stall onset, or 118 KIAS.
As a reminder, using speed brakes is critical - it keeps you "spooled up" on the power, makes small power changes more effective in controlling rate of descent, and - PULLING THEM IN ON A WAVEOFF MAKES A BIG DIFFENCE IN WAVEOFF RESPONSE!!. Same if you bolter --
Been there, done that - good normally, not too bad occasionally, ugly - only once.
I have an original Scimitar F1 Pilot's Notes (along with some other original Scimitar air publications) and if someone reminds me I'll get around to checking the numbers...
I also have a genuine Scimitar panel I hope to get around to restoring one day, but that is another story!

There's a bit about deck landing in the Ad-Hoc Publications 'Scimitar From the Cockpit' where a pilot mentions the single throttle technique. Basically you set both throttles at an intermediate position and then only adjusted one of them from then on, essentially it gave finer control as you were only altering the thrust on one engine. It wasn't an approved procedure as such, so wasn't in the manuals, but was in fairly widespread use by all accounts.
Just finished an FSX version of the above Scimitar F1
With removeable tanks and Sidewinders.
Here is a download link should anyone be interested.

Do you really need to both register and give card details to use this download service?
Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.
Nope. Not for me. Get a plethora of sign-up/register ads - none looking very desirable or healthy. Using Chrome.

Sorry. Strange, it now seems to work! I think you need to backspace from the sign up ads and it then offers the download. Thanks Rob for another great model!

My Windows Defender blocks it, says it's not safe.
