FARNBOROUGH (Below) Those with an eye for detail will recognize the neat pressurehead venturi and yawmeter arrangements on the massive Blackburn and General Aircraft G.A.L.60, and the parachute escape hatch of the Avro Ashton. (Below) Canopy comparisons between the three deltas, checking downwards, are the Avro 707A, Boulton Paul P.111 and Fairey F.D.1.
