1956 - 1629.PDF
789 F the two prototypes of the D.H.110 carrier-borne all-weather fighter, one—XF828 —is at present distinguished by a rounded radar nose. It is this machine which is seen on the left leaving the starboard steam catapult of H.M.S. Ark Royal during recent operational trials. This, too, is the subject of the air-to-air view above, and of the detail photograph at centre left, showing the metal strakes which run fore and aft along the edge of the air brake with the object of increasing effectiveness. As now in produc- tion for the Fleet Air Arm at Christchurch, the 110 will have a pointed nose, seen on prototype WG240, depicted at top left. WG240 is operating from Hatfield, whereas XF828 is based at Christchurch. A heavy armament of missiles is intended. •
