Hawker P.1103 and P.1121: Camm's Last Fighter Projects

So do you have a second print run on your book on the horizon, @overscan (PaulMM)?

 

[overscan (PaulMM)]

Yes, assuming the publisher is on board, but likely after I visit the UK in December 2025. Hoping to take a few photos of the P.1121 parts at Brooklands.

Good! Because I definitely intend to buy a copy when the second edition comes out. I assume that on this trip you'll also be visiting the Saunders Roe archive for documentation on the SR-177?

I've failed multiple times to get anywhere on it, but if I get a response I will certainly do so.

Let's hope you succeed this time, I'd love to see a detailed book about the SR-177 published (Especially if it has nice cutaway diagrams).

Edit: Derek Wood's excellent "Project Cancelled" books (I must get around to obtaining a copy of his 3rd edition).

 

[scautomoton]

I'll second that

Me three, the real story. F-104G, warts and all.

Apologies for going off topic, Id sooo love to see a volume on Saunders Roe's P.177 rocket fighter

in regard, Lockheed's F-104G was no more than an afterword re. SR. P.177, taking place after the latter programme was cancelled
From what little i have found at TNA., the P.177 export brochures seems to be company led pitches and proposals (i am unsure if even actually considered by FGR., Netherlands and Japan ?)

There's a few helicopter books to shift before that gets Greenlit.

You need a Chinook for that.

Agreed, message from Bonn was "I'll call you - after I've banked this suitcase of $100 bills that happened to land in the boot of my Mercedes."
