Evening all,

The lights are on, but is anybody at home?

Edited to say that I've just got home and I would have thought that Reg is probably close enough, but there's been a long silence from both of you!

It's the Thin-Wing Javelin, the unbuilt Gloster P.376

Sorry mate - missed that.

Lights, music, nice hotel - your stage.

Sorry Reg, you were so close, but TC cracked the exact name.

Oi you two!!!

It's about time you both sent me some stuff for silhouetting!

I can't play all next week from Montag, so it does not affect me.

DO IT....!

Bids must be in by Sunday 1500.

Thats fine. I missed it because I could't figure out a way to find more about it. Still proud that I got that far .

Found the thin wing Javelin, but did not find the designation.

Good call TC

Thanks LM,

Sorry mate - missed that
Prolly 'coz it wasn't on my original message, I'm preparing dinner and didn't go and look for the project number as I thought Reg's answer might suffice, I added it when there was no initial response to my evening all!

This ones a bit faster then my last one, but it's the only one ready to fly at the moment, bet it doesn't last long!

It's not an Avro project by name, but it was British and there is a connection!

Not from English Electric, sorry for the delay, I was just checking about the engines in fuselage question that you originally posted. The answer to that is a bit vague; the information says that there was an additional "lift engine" but it doesn't say if it was in the fuselage, but I would have thought it was!

Definitely no connection with the HP-100 or those requirements. This was a group of studies for a range of very fast designs, with various engine types.
