FLIGHT, 8 September 1949 •.- /V 971 Far from making what the Americans describe as a " hot " landing, the D.H. Comet (above) settles back on the runway with easy grace. Those who believed that in the Cierva Air Horse last year they had seen the ultimate in complex structures, are referred to the new tail unit on the right. companies display models in place of, or in addition to, the full-sized aircraft, and thus the S.R./Ai jet fighter flying boat is present again, and a sombre black English Electric A.i augments the blue reality outside. Those with R.A.F.V.R. interests will examine the full-scale production Chipmunk, complete with Service markings. Should the principles of after-burning be unknown, a fine model on the M.o.S. stand will provide many of the details. Here, too, is a new research rocket which, together with the de Havilland Sprite rocket motor this year bears witness to the intensifying activities in these fields. 1A complete illustrate report -will appear in next week's issue.) The tapering fin and rudder at top left is that of the Westland Wyvern T.F.2 and the forbidding expression to its right is worn by the Avro Shackleton. The English Electric Canberra jet bomber (lower left) is seen under guard and the fourth view shows the adjust* able-area tailpipe on the " re-heat " Meteor. The power uniu. comp'ete. for this exparimsntal aircraft, are the work of Rolls-Royce.
