    AWA.166 instead of Bristol 188

    Despite being favoured over Bristol's design, AWA was not able to spare the staff to realise the ER.134T research aircraft requirement, and so Bristol was awarded the contract. As we know Bristol's 188 took a long time and was hampered by the Gyron Junior engines. But what if AWA had staff...

    Socata TBH.20 Colibri

    Hi! Is there any more info on this aircraft? It’s a gust-suppression aircraft built from a Socata Trinidad. It was designed by Hirsch, which is why the name is TB(H), not TB. I can only find two photos and very little info on it.
