I vividly remember being one of a party of 92nd Entry Halton Apprentices on a visit to Duxford in 1959 (just possibly, 1960). We were treated to a flight of one of the prototypes. When I say ‘flight’, I exaggerate! In fact its maximum altitude possible, was about 6 feet, since it was tethered to the pan by four ruddy great chains! Still, very impressive all the same.
