Thanks Reg,
You've got it, the Hawker Siddeley APD.1019 (E6)
The Hawker Siddeley APD.1019 was a series of mid 1960's studies into designs for a research aircraft capable of Mach 5. Several different versions were produced, ranging from 21-58 tonnes. Configurations ranged from relatively conventional canard deltas to advanced lifting body flying wedges. Propulsion options included hydrogen fuelled scramjets and turborockets (an engine capable of operating as a turbojet or a rocket).
The HSA APD.1019E6, powered by Rolls-Royce FPS.146 Turborockets with a Rolls-Royce RB.189 lift engine for use during landing and take-off.
In addition to the lift engine, the turborocket nacelles could be rotated to provide additional lift. The cockpit hatch can be seen aft of the canard.
It would have been good to see this one fly
Had to go up to Mach 5 before I found it.
Better not let LM hear you've been doing that mate!!
Sleep well Reg
