Thanks - I hope I've done the subject matter justice.

Hi Bill. Yes I don't mind sharing photos of what I did here. I did actually create a Facebook group with just this in mind. Give me a couple of days and I can get this sorted for you. BTW, did a Mustard too.

That's the part to remember. A test flight with ballast or a flight with a commercial payload doesn't cut it. (Though we all know 99% of those who even remember the claim will forget that part.)

...us, the engines need to be well aft and well inboard. The main question would then have been - vertical or horizontal launch? BAe had MUSTARD in their back pocket, so the politicians would have fought out a MUSTARD-cluster vs. Hermes-stack battle for the sake of the bragging rights, with...

Your book on MUSTARD was a revelation as it showed all the iterations of that design. I never would have guessed that there were so many and often so diverse. It will probably take a little while longer to get to the antipodes, so I am expecting it some time in January.

Yep, thats the one......

I remember this too; a Horizon programme? The bomb dutifully hurtled around the test range before getting stuck in a ditch, which appeared to be a significant drawback. SRJ.

It struck me a while ago that the obvious British Dakota replacement may be a pre-war design - the De Havilland Flamingo. It's about 75% of a Dakota in size and capability, but re-engining it with the Twin Wasp and giving it a fuselage stretch might have been interesting. It's a pity the order...

...tanks or issue Orbiter Frame has with internal Hydrogen tanks during launch and reentry (the booster had lesser problems on that) ( early MUSTARD design had dangerous errors in internal integral Hydrogen-Oxygen Tank concept ) So transform the internal Hydrogen tanks to drop tanks reduce...

I have got the said issue of Spaceflight, it is highly interesting read and make's me want to get the book even more. B)

...the testing schedule. And want to be able to shown the monster at the 1972 Paris air show. Here are photo shots from that very first flight, taken from the chase plane. testing various configurations above clouds layers. next will have to paint it in that mustard/white prototype scheme.

Returning to this thread, I like to add that A32 Lansen and perhaps A37 Viggen would have gotten tactical nukes and mustard gas bombs if such weapons had been put to service here. The light strike version of Sk 60 would have been armed with tanks and sprays for the nerve gas sarin; kinda like...

Skylon gets a bit of coverage in the Hotol book. As mentioned previously, the configuration changes remarkably little over an extended period of time - with all the effort being focused on the engines, particularly the heat exchangers. And I'm not sure how much of that effort RAL would be...

...effect on payload" you claim above. After having read "Britain's Space Shuttle" by Dan Sharp, who is an esteemed member of this forum, I dare say that a whole lot more competent thought and professional work was put into MUSTARD than into say the flock synchronized launching routine. Martin

...boom and the USN thing. Yet suborbital refueling may marry them, adapt them, to boom rendez vous I mentionned up thread ( once again). And Mustard inspired Triamese and both were not workable as discussed up thread. NASA expressedly rejected Triamese for Shuttle as early as april 1969, for...

...be new artworks which are currently being made. The goal is to create an appropriately detailed, accurate and fully illustrated followup to my earlier British Secret Projects 5: Britain's Space Shuttle (which, if I'd had my way at the time, would have been called MUSTARD: Britain's Space...

Well, as I mentioned before - the truly devastating warhead for V-2 may be the one, filled with N-stoff, chlorine trifluoride (assuming, of course, that Germans figured out some way to handle this horrible stuff without blowing the missile up several hundred times during preparation). When such...
