That's the one! Well done

de Havilland?

Since the front looks Trident-ish, I'd say DH122 - intended to compete with the VC10

PBW

Yes, a project that never went beyond the drawing board. Just like the ACME Anser.

Not Yankee. PBW was quite close, actually.. The image graces the cover of a book.

Back to de Havilland?

I haven't seen piccies of the DH 118/119/120/122 projects. I thought that the 118 was the "Comet 5", but I suppose this could be it. I've read that the 119 was a project for BEA, and the 120 was BEA/BOAC. Try DH 118?

PBW is correct. The D.H. 118. Designed for B.O.A.C in 1957. You have control.

Thanks for the prompt response, don't wait up though, I'm off to bed now, gotta be up again at five

A trainer presumably, was the engine to be French too, four or six pot?

Thanks for that engine info
