That's the one! Well done :D

evansb has control :ok:

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

PBW

evansb 12th Aug 2013 11:45

Sorry PBW, not the D.H. 122...

Lightning Mate 12th Aug 2013 12:03

So, a project I assume.

evansb 12th Aug 2013 12:05

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

Lightning Mate 12th Aug 2013 12:08

American ?

evansb 12th Aug 2013 12:13

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

Lightning Mate 12th Aug 2013 12:18

Vickers V1000 ?

evansb 12th Aug 2013 12:19

Not Vickers...

Lightning Mate 12th Aug 2013 14:39

But British ?

papabravowhiskey 12th Aug 2013 14:49

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?

evansb 12th Aug 2013 16:08

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

papabravowhiskey 12th Aug 2013 16:10

Apologies
 
I'm afraid I have nothing to offer at present. Open House please!

New challenge - may be easy
Or maybe not!! This did fly, not a project?

French maybe? Renault engine?

papabravowhiskey 13th Aug 2013 23:24

French, yes: Renault engine, no: project, yes: built, no.
Projected engine was an Argus.

SincoTC 13th Aug 2013 23:40

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

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

Thanks for that engine info :ok:
