    BAC Designation System

    BAC's military side appears to have a well defined designation system, primarily following on from English Electric's, but the civil side, at least as published, seems to have just 'press friendly' names or numbers (as Boeing). Here are the civil projects that come to mind. Does anyone have any...

    F 4 Phantom fails in the early 60s- 1154s or Lightnings?

    The F4 Phantom might have failed to materialise as the wonderful plane which the RAF and RN used to fill various gaps from the 60s onwards. In a Phantomless world would P1154 have been developed as planned in 1963 for both RAF and RN or would the Lightning have been developed in its swing wing...

    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...

    Inswing / 'medium-range Swingfire' (Not Beeswing!)

    I have come across a couple of references to an infantry version of Swingfire that seems to have not been Beeswing (regular Swingfire mounted in a rack on a Land rover or trailer). Kenneth Macksey makes reference to it in 'The Tanks; The History of the Royal Tank Regiment, 1945-1975' in which he...

    Rapier SAM / Marder MICV Combination Project

    I found this proposal for a British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) Rapier SAM system incorporated into a West German Marder MICV chassis, in a copy of a 1972-73 Jane’s Weapon Systems, which I purchased the other day in a second hand book shop. This Rapier/Marder project looks a very thorough thought...
