Well . In 1970 I was in Decca 14SQd we had sabers there. We wanted to see the capabilities of there radars so I got into my saber no ammo wanted the saber to be light so took a piss before take off climbed to 24,000/-ft and bang 2 Migs on my tail firing at me I went into a dive and in no time I went supersonic broke the sound barrier problem was not that I broke the barrier problem was I had 2 Migs faster than me firing at me and my Stick is hard like a rock couldn't move an inch the saber was not meant for supersonic speeds, Dilemma was the only way I survive is by slowing the speed and get control on the other hand if I slow down they have me for lunch. There were always black clouds over decca out of 300 sorties I landed with open cockpit 97 times because the windshield used to get white and use couldn't see so you had to open the cockpit and see right or left and land.
So I reduced my speed and got into the cloud, When I came out on the other side I was about 50 feet behind the Mig Big Blody engine infront of me and I said yes I got you and pressed the trigger and said oh **** no ammo If I would have had 1 bullet that would have done the trick hard luck.

Thats an incredible story Sir! Why did you want the sabre to be lighter if its not meant to fly super sonic? Whats the max speed you can get with the canon working?
