Enjoy!
P 104

Nimrods's Genesis has the story of the P.104 and the R.2/48 boats.

But just remember it's an aircraft book.

The P 104. Thank you Barrington Bond for a superb general arrangement of a beautiful aircraft design.

mostly pages 3/4

Thanks, but they all seem to be downloaded from this topic, from what I can see.

Yes, a few of them are posted here in this topic in lower resolution.

However I looked through the whole topic before making the above posts. Were the guppy, land based princess and nuclear mock-up moved to other topics? Because none of those images appear in this thread now.

 

[overscan (PaulMM)]

Well, I checked three, and all three are the exact same image already posted here in this topic, same scan and image size. I admit I didn't check every image. Going by the other images in the Photobucket it's a collection of interesting images found on the internet by someone who probably is a member here.

Never mind though.

The P.162 test Model.

Would Saro have been able to produce a Pegasus powered version of the P.104 designs for its R.2/33 spec rather than the OTL A.33 design?

Obviously without the radar, torpedoes etc but having the same basic design.

 

[Schneiderman]

Sorry? You want to know whether an aircraft designed to spec. R.2/48 in 1948 could have been re-engined and sent back in time to compete to spec. R.2/33 in 1933?
Basically, no. There is an additional 15 years of flying boat development involved.

Thought so, pity, the design looks quite cool.....

What ever happened with the Python? Did it ever find a production run elsewhere?

Now that is an interesting picture ---

hmm! I could cast up a bunch of these I'm making for my Lancaster FTB

I moved the 6-engined P.192 here https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,30195.0.html
and added it to our "blacklist".

Sorry for any inconvenience and thank you Schneiderman!
Especially for me a good reminder, that fake projects can not only be found amongst German WW II projects ... :-[

 

[lark]

What puzzles me here is the fact that Arthur Ord-Hume used a years old
what iff P.192 as illustration in his otherwise good book.

According to Richard Payne in an Aeroplane article past year , several variants
were planned of the P.192 but in the book ,none was mentioned in the pages about ...

You, Sir, are an absolute star amongst stars

 

[ivancristina]

Does anyone have a clean copy of the Princess blueprint?

 

[MattPainter]

And finally:

I never knew they did brochures on the Duchess and P.192! Any chance the drawings contained could be scanned rather than photos? That would really help us modellers out! Pretty please?

 

[CNH]

Sorry - no scans - they're from Brochures in the Archives at Kew.
