Amazing find dear Joe,and we can save them here,
F1 Trainer of 1954 (Not to be confused with the F2 trainer of 1964)
This was the first of several trainer aircraft proposals by GAF for the RAAF. This one was in response to RAAF Specification AC 94. The opening paragraph of the report states that “By drawing freely on our considerable experience in the design of small jet aircraft and by incorporating the production and maintenance qualities contributing to the success of Jindivik, we feel confident that we can provide the service with a training aircraft, which while offering the utmost in overall economy, satisfies all pre-operational training requirements.” The following description of the aircraft is provided:
“The trainer is a low-wing design, powered by a single Armstrong Siddeley Viper engine aspirated through wing root entry ducts. The crew are seated side by side on ejection seats in a fully pressurised and refrigerated cabin, forward of the wing, and have an all-round view. All removable equipment has been concentrated in a bay at the front of the fuselage, and each item is individually accessible and removable through an upward hinging door. All fuel tanks are of the fully crash proof bag type. The main tanks are in the fuselage directly over the wing and the auxiliary tanks are in the main wing spar box.
A fully retractable tricycle undercarriage with low pressure tyres ensures satisfactory operation from all types of aerodrome surface. Hydraulic nose wheel steering operated via the rudder pedals and selected by a push button on the stick has been incorporated to give a lock of 70 degrees to port or starboard.”
I don’t know what other aircraft contended for the requirement, but GAF didn’t get the gig
