First flown in 1944, the Martin-Baker M.B.5 was the fifth in a series of experimental prototype fighter aircraft. Powered by the Rolls-Royce Griffon 83 engine, the plane's performance was instantly impressive, with excellent handling qualities and a high top speed of over 460 mph. Pilots who flew it generally raved about the handling, going so far in some cases as to call it the finest-handling fighter ever made. The type used an innovative steel-tube framework which was said to simplify maintenance and add strength. However, in the event, a contract was never awarded and the M.B.5 became another of those great aircraft never to be mass-produced. Includes both military and racer variants. Original model by Alphasim. Updated to FSX by Danny Garnier.

    I have installed this plane in FSX Steam edition. I tried it. I removed it. Reason: the propellers, too apparent, too visible, too dark. I am very disappointed because, in the history of aviation, concerning the technic, this plane was a real success.
