It had been done before: the Sncaso SO-9000 TRIDENT flew in 1953.

Thank you my dear PaulMM,and they need me to registeration first.

 

[overscan (PaulMM)]

You need to either pay for it to be scanned, or visit in person.

 

[hesham]

That's the problem,anyway many thanks my dear.

After big search,the only possibility to involve in this competition would be
with Fairey company ?.

There was also Armstrong Whitworth's 'B' submission to ER.161T - the smaller, single-engined AW.172. This was another 'narrow delta' design but CTOL and powered by a reheated PS.53 Gyron Junior

AWA favoured their larger 'A' submission - the AW.171 - thinking it had more development potential.
