Thumbs up older jet prototypes

All three jet prototypes that have been mentioned in this thread survive in european museums.


The Bristol Type 188 "All Steel" can be seen in the RAF Museum Cosford in
the UK.

The VJ-101 can be seen in the Deutsches Museum, Munich, Germany.
Their Schleissheim display also has several protypes.

The Trident can be seen in the Musee de'l Air, Le Bourget, Paris, France.

Off all these early jet prototypes I like the Nord Griffon the best for looks.

All of these museums are definately worth a visit and have many early jet prototypes on display.
I was just in Paris and the Trident is on display in the corner on a pole.
So go and enjoy!
