Hi all,
I was reading through the section about the Thin Wing javelin in Tony Buttler's BSP 1, and I'm rather confused as to the project timeline. There were various studies which were all under the "Thin Wing Javelin" title, from the P.356 to the GA.8 Guardian, but all are quite different to each other, and some seemed to be ordered and begin construction.
My main question is, how many projects were actually laid down? From what I understand the P.356 was ordered, but I'm not sure if it began construction, as by the time the project was cancelled, it was the P.376 that was being built. The way I understood it is that the P.356 was ordered and laid down, but the design was changed, eventually leading to the P.376. I discussed this with some fellow researchers elsewhere, but I'm not sure if this assumption is correct, and I would like some second opinions on this issue.
I would like to hear your thoughts, your patience and understanding is also greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with the developmental history of the Javelin.
