483 - FLIGHT, 116 September1955 (Above) The Fairey F.D.2 delta-wing research aircraft, powered with a Rolls-Royce reheat Avon, gets airborne with its nose—of distinctly medieval conception—untilted. This picture should be compared with the close-up view of the nose on the left, showing how this entire portion can be lowered to provide the pilot with sufficient view for landing. (Left) One of two examples of the executive version of the de Havilland Heron 2, with feathering D.H. air- screws for its Gipsy Queen engines. The port outer airscrew is, in fact, feathered in this picture. (Below) Carrying two 100-gallon plas- tic tanks is the Hawker Hunter FA, powered by a Rolls-Royce Avon, hav- ing an enlarged tailpipe by reason of , its increased thrust.
