468 FLIGHT The Four Elements Twin Napier Scorpion liquid-rocket barrels on the English Electric Canberra B.2 WK 163 fight up with a spurt of steam as this flying test-bed gets under way for a Farnborough demonstration. Below, twin de Havilland Super Sprite liquid-fuel rockets are seen assisting Vickers-Armstrongs Valiant B1 WB 21S (the second prototype) from the wet runway. The Super Sprites add 8,400 Ib thrust to the 40,000-odd Ib delivered by the four Rolls-Royce Avons.
