Does raise the AH issue of F.177 going ahead.

Could this have shifted DH position?

A F.177 'success' (getting to FAA and RAF service, maybe a license with Heinkel and Mitsubishi), would exert pull on teams, potentially DH Christchurch too busy for OR.339.

Possibly no submission to OR.346.

Only later to AW.406.....although why would you run that if you have F.177?


DH continuing funding of Gyron Junior for cooled Compressor blades (aiming for 10,000lb static dry thrust) and general attendance, makes Bristol T.188 more useful (rumours of lack of interest compound T.188 failure) and mkII Buccaneer using upgraded Gyron Junior instead of Spey. RR even more doomed prior to '64/ to '65.
