Caravelle was concieved c.1952 and flew in 1955.
The AW167 was reportedly a project from 1955 but there is precious little to be found about it.
The first thing I thought looking at the Condor was Caravelle influence and that project allegedly started in 1951 but at what stage it began to look so like a Caravelle is anyone's guess. Of course they all must have been heavily influenced by the Comet which was the Daddy of them all; we know the Caravelle was part Comet anyway.
