'seeing round the corner will be provided by The AVRO 707 A & B. Watch the flight demonstration, note the
manoeuvrability, estimate the speed range and study the simplicity of line. And, as vou watch the little AVRO 707

out by the German Lippisch, it was in this country that this
design was first exploited to the full—in the Avro Vulcan
bomber, later illustrated. At 227 is shown the first of a series
of Avro 707 research aircraft—scale models of the great bomber.
The dainty little jet at 228 is the Cyclone, one of a series of
Fouga monoplanes designed for the tiny Turbomeca jet units.

piece of showmanship; whether Wheldon did 11 or 12 turns
