I found this article, concerning the Vickers PV bomber, and would be interested to know more about it. https://www.keymilitary.com/article/british-behemoth

As any deeply invested Spitfire fan knows, the intended major developments never eventuated and the history of the Spitfire was one of interim variants that did very well. The dead ends are as follows: SPITFIRE III: Merlin 20 development with four cannon and major airframe revisions; abandoned...

I have come across some information on the proposed VC.4 three-engined transatlantic airliner project of 1949. Information on the VC.4 was used to demonstrate aerodynamic drag issues in a Royal Aeronautical Society lecture by E. J. Edwards on 24 November 1949 entitled A Review of Aerodynamic...

Found these images buried in my folders along with a screenshot of the (limited) information on these artillery pieces. It took me a while to track down which forum post I got them from (link and just in case, archived). Quoted from the thread in question:

One UK aircraft has been around me more than any other, and no, its not my beloved TSR2, AVS or Boeing SST. It is the VC 10 My Dad made me the Airfix kit. Until recently and from the age of 9 I could watch these elegant planes in their smart RAF colours doing circuits in and out of Brize...

From the navweaps site: http://navweaps.com/Weapons/index_weapons.htm My question is: Does anybody here ever found drawings or photos of this post war naval mount?

The Vickers VC.1 Viking began life as the Wellington Transport Aircraft, under Air Ministry Specification 17/44 (according to Wikipedia). The idea was to keep the wing and undercarriage of the good old "Wimpy" but to develop a new fuselage. I just found this on t'interweb thingy: "the postwar...

Does any of you have more info about this VC-10 early study? From http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/aircraft/types/vickers-vc10.htm Development History: Vanjet VC10 Mk I Projected tri-jet medium range transport with Valiant-style wing with curved inboard leading edge. Vanguard fuselage, mid-set...

Hi, I'm looking for some info (line drawings, specifications) on the Vickers Victory and jet bomber designs of late WW2. The victory was a 6 engined evolution of the Wellington and the 'Jet Bomber' was the intermediate stage on getting to the Valiant. I already have some very high level info...

Thread to discuss the Valiant airliner derivative of 1955. I need more data on this project (dimensions, performances compared to the VC-10 and 707)

Ok, I know that this plane figure in cover (and in detail!) in Tony buttler book, but I haven't got this book and need some details on this monster. Just performances, weight dimensions and a 3-view drawing would be cool. In what context was this project developed ? Did the RAF seriously bite...

vickers developed the Vickers Mk-1 MBT as a private venture - a lighter and cheaper alternative to the Chieftain. It was eventually adopted by India - being named Vijayanta (victory) were production commenced in 1965. Mk-1 38,600kg combat weight, Leyland L60 650bhp engine, 105mm main gun and...
