Hawker P 1141 to P1160 designs

[uk 75]

A series of Kingston designs from P1141 1142 1145 1147 and 1160
are mentioned in the annex of the new British Secret projects.
The volume gives exhaustive info on 50s and 70s projects but nothing much
on the early 60s like these. Does anyone have more.

List is not Harrier ones, covered in this: http://papers.sae.org/2003-01-3050/

You're still waiting for the one building on this: http://papers.sae.org/2005-01-3195/

Other book is sort of first paper above plus this https://www.research.manchester.ac.uk/portal/en/publications/without-the-harrier-nonkingston-vstol-combat-aircraft-concepts-in-the-20th-century(8bc1e476-fcca-4fe4-9367-52cf6383de8a)/export.html
plus loads more since

So much V/STOL goodness, so little time (but a need to write books that get academic peer review as priority, due to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_Excellence_Framework). Found a publisher/series that allows that, and a reasonable price for general readers.

Harrier
I really appreciate the time and effort that you and other authors
put into your work.
I own up to a rather childish liking for general arrangement drawings
of aircraft. I began this with the books around in the 60s notably
by William Green. I cannot get enough GA drawings,

especially when they were only gleams in the eye. This also applies
to other things like ships and vehicles.
So I will keep on asking.

I think all us wait that.
