Yes, amazingly, its the threads very first Aerospatiale design, it dates from 1971 and is one of several similar designs from that time, one of which became the BAe 146, but what is this one called?

Thanks Richard...not the prettiest design!

Here's something that was designed to fly a little faster:

I believe that to be the Northrop-Dornier ND-102, a submission to TKF-90 that the Typhoon fulfilled.

The Dornier Northrop N/D 102.

Edit: Too slow. It takes a long time for electrons to reach the United Kingdom.

Morning Noyade, you are correct, but HD beat you to it.....and until I saw it in a book the other day I had never even heard of it....clearly by the speed of responses something is seriously missing in my education!

Morning Graeme. I was wondering if you were up yet even as I posted.

After I posted I did a quick search just to confirm (having learned the hard way not to search first!) and I found one of my own old threads from elsewhere with other precursors to the Typhoon

The Road to Typhoon, page 1

for my new image I will put this up, it should go fairly soon

Morning fellas!

but HD beat you to it
My motorised wheelchair battery died and I had to crawl to the bookshelf and back!

and until I saw it in a book the other day
This one? The ONLY reason I found yours Ken was because it was blue! Like all the others in this book.



should go fairly soon
Not from me! Because it's not blue!
(Did you get my e-mail?)

Crikey! You must all be blue over there?!

Front view looks a little odd? Reminds me of the DM-1, yet the side view looks a little like a Messerschmitt P.1112.
Maybe German? A clever Luft '46 project?

Not German, and a decade later than that. Judging by the lack of responses other than Graeme this is either harder than I thought or too dull.

Time for a clue


This was designed by a firm who had already built their last plane and their biggest success was one of the wars biggest failures, which sounds cryptic but isn't.

Graeme, we're in the middle of a blizzard here, been back from shopping about five minutes and the car is already covered with a thick blanket of snow, luvvly jubbly!

Noyade,

Wotever you're on, please send a case Mate.



..and for the rest of you, it's nice and sunny down here and no snow. We only see snow about every ten years - blue rinse city Bournemouth.

Sounds like Boulton & Paul or Brewster to me... Boulton & Paul did a couple of deltas, in the late fifties, but I can't find anything about this one.

very, very warm mechta, a development of this very design, with a different number, was a losing contender in NA 39, that should be enough clues to nail it.

That would be the Boulton Paul P.133B with fan assisted take-off and landing. 2 DH Gyron Junior engines.
