This all cones back to the engine issue.Certainly the failure to produce either developed Orpheus or the requested 30" jets by UK engine providers is a major failure.In this the later RR-MTU effort RB.153 leveraging lift jet technologies did deliver a solution.Just too late and too different to simply apply in place of Orpheus.And Gyron Junior was too big, too heavy and too thirsty. But at least around at the right time.Had Bristol achieved the desired result, either with Orpheus or BE.33, or RR with RB.123 or AS with P.151.Then subsequent history would be rather different.Similarly Gabizo wasn't that sparkling an engine and the Bradener E300 never got there beyond a few prototypes.
