438 FLIGHT International, 13 September 1962 FARNBOROUGH WEEK... ^B*fcJj^*-~—T *L-Ji """?! -^f* i L^fikMmmm \ . ;v2ai^'•'•'•'. &•"• ::-m''-'"• w':: ^El^^^H^^M^I ^^B Pvfr ' •pv 1M8*2" ~*?.s9i HIHH^HHHHHHi^HHHKIBHHHHBHKBHHH BK Beyond Smiths triplex automatic landing Varsity and the Buccaneer, the VCIO is glimpsed in all her majesty How Nord SS.II air-to-ground missiles are carried on the Westland Whirlwind 10; there are two on each side. Firing trials by the RAF have been successful Liveliest of the lot: the Beagle-Wallis WA. 116 Inside the tent all the usual devices were being exercised to grasp one's attention and mould one's thinking along company lines— films, recorded panegyrics, pictures, diagrams, brochures, handouts, public relations officers and all the other trade-show paraphernalia. One of the less-usual devices was the personable blonde on the Handley Page stand, whose function was to focus attention on the Herald seat in which she was sitting, with formidable poise, reading The Times, the Evening Standard and a paperback edition of Zuleika Dob son. At 12.30 the Director of the RAE, Dr M. J. Lighthill, spoke at a press conference about the aerospace plane which had been mentioned briefly by Mr Amery at the SBAC dinner the previous evening—and mentioned rather less briefly in that morning's Mail and Express newspapers. At the same time Short Brothers and Harland were waiting at enclosure C9, to tell the Press two things. First, Shorts had signed an agreement with Chance Vought, Hiller and Ryan for co-operation on the XC-142 tilt-wing tri-service VTOL transport should this aircraft be chosen in the NATO NBMR-4 competition. Secondly, the Tigercat land-based version of the Seacat ship-to-air missile was being offered to the Army. The afternoon's flying display featured only one of the P. 1127s (performing, incidentally, in a heavy downpour) after the second machine had headed back for Dunsfold and its flight development Ogee: this new three-view drawing shows for the first time the distinctive new undercarriage of the BAC 221 and the curious intake geometry, designed to match the new intake with the old. Overall length of the aircraft is 57ft 7 in and span 25ft
