FLIGHT Vic kers-Su per marine 510 THE name " Swift," so happily applied to the " Swept Attacker " (as Supermarine'snew experimental fighter was often known while still on the Secret List), hasnot been officially sanctioned, and this remarkable machine is entering on a long series of flight trials with the M. of S.-ordained styling " Supermarine 510." To quote an announcement by the makers it has been designed '' to investigate the problems which are associated with flight at and beyond the speed of sound." On these pages are new Flight photographs of the 510, secured by John Yoxall with sympathetic co-operation from Michael Lithgow at the controls of this, one of Britain's newest instruments of transonic research. Weymouth will be recognized as the setting of the exceptionally fine study opposite.
