De Havilland DH.125 « Jet Dragon »

[Stargazer]

Try as I might, I couldn't find an appropriate topic to post this in, so here goes: an artist's impression of the De Havilland DH.125 Jet Dragon, which became the Hawker Siddeley HS.125 and received a regular tail arrangement when built/produced. I'm sure there must be other pics/documents about the Jet Dragon around, so if you have anything, please add to this!

There are also photos of G-ARYC on airliners.net

I was working at Hatfield at the time and the 125 was doing flight testing. One day the word went around the apprentice grape vine that the crew had a problem so we all went outside to watch the landing. They had deployed the spin chute in testing but it had failed to jettison so they had to land at a very high power setting towing the open drag chute behind them.
The 125 landed safely to every one's relief.

That's from the French Marabout pocket book series.
