One of the early prototype Viscounts was actually built with two RR Tay jet engines. Imagine that ! I recall seeing a grainy black and white picture of this version years back, and I wonder if anyone could find one to post here. It never caught on, mainly because I think the Dart turboprops were a more powerful and economical solution.
