Firstly, does anyone have a copy of the official brochure for the Jetstream 31EZ maritime patrol aircraft? Also, any more information on the Jetstream C.5/E.4...

    Advanced Tactical Support Aircraft (ATSA) US Navy

    Late 80s (88-90) US Navy Program to replace the E-3C, S-3B and EA-6B carrier-based AEW, ASW and EW aircraft.

    HMS Hermes as Sea Control Ship

    The saga of HMS Hermes is well known. But it might have been different if the RN had followed the US example and kept her as an ASW carrier or interim Sea Control Ship. The US were introducing the S3 Viking on to their attack carriers but were keen to get as many to sea as possible. HMS Hermes...

    This was a program, possibly inspired by the B-1C and related proposals, to procure a number of P-3C based variants equipped with the AWG-9 Radar and the Phoenix missile (likely the AIM-54C ECCM/Sealed version), for the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force. The program began as a TRDI program in...

    Beyond the One-Eleven - British Aircraft Corporation BAC 1-11 projects......

    Dear Boys and Girls, here is an article describing the BAC X-Eleven "project" for a (then) new technology short-medium range jet airliner with CFM-56 engines. This "project" has a wider fuselage cross-section than the standard BAC 1-11. I believe this was the final attempt to make a stand-alone...

Attached are a couple views of a SeaKat factory model. I would be grateful for any info about this little-known...

The UK Government and MoD went looking for a replacement and settled on the E-3D Sentry which entered RAF service in 1990. What were the...
