Was surching through the site and was kind of surprised at how little the was on this aircraft, and sense there seems to be a thread on every DH project here one for the DH.116 seems fine. Here's the only images I could find...

https://naval-encyclopedia.com/ww2/uk/king-george-v-class-battleships.php?amp=1 According to the site, I'm looking for three KGV-class designs designed in 1935 with nine 15-inch guns, but I couldn't find them no matter how much I looked. Is there anyone who knows more details about the design?

Fighter project, 1943 The Airspeed firm suggested to the Admiralty the transformation of the radio-controlled flying-boat target aircraft AS-37 into a scaled-up jet fighter, powered by one de Havilland Halford H.1 centrifugal-flow turbojet with 1,225 kgf static thrust in the forward area of the...

These projects date back to the beginning of the 20th century when many warship experiences and design concepts were developed. Neither proved to be viable. There is little information about these projects and in one case it is only possible to speculate on certain specifications. The first...

the heart of the Centaur class carriers is the use of two capital ship plants, producing 76,000shpin total. Hermes got improved plants for 80,000shp. If the RN had driven more powerful plant machinery prior to WWII, then arguably the Centaurs would be larger carriers. Ideally to something...

The Royal Navy's second 16" armed battleships history was a long and bumpy road of large number of designs and the inability on the Admiralty's side to actually start and continue it's work on them or choose a design to produce. First I present the 1938 designs: Design 14A-38 This is the first...

http://www.hmshood.com/history/construct/repair42.htm Some very interesting potential outcomes. The one based along the lines of the KGV class would have likely been very effective indeed.

I put this under 'Early Aircraft Projects' because the things were free-flying but sorry if they should be under 'Missiles'. The sheer scale of this plan makes it hard to regard as a 'secret' project but seemingly it is, or at least I'd never heard of it. Anyway, here’s something on Britain’s...

I came across the Saro P.200 brochure at Kew and a file of related correspondence. The P.200 was designed in 1957 to meet an Admiralty requirement. The hull was a normal planing bow with a tunnel aft to carry a Pentane A/S homing torpedo. The hydrofoils and rudders were separated to allow the...

Here are some summary notes on the Scottish Company Beardmore who's aircraft manufacturing activities began in 1913 and ended in the 1920's. Beardmore-D.F.W. Round Britain Racer In 1913 William Beardmore and Company took over the building rights in Britain for the German Deutsche Flugzeug Werke...

Not sure if this thread went in Naval Projects or Prewar. So I took a chance. http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2008/06/17/uncle-sam-asked-to-build-floating-ocean-airports/ An idea ahead of it's time. Aircraft carriers were still a pretty new idea. Project Habbakuk was about 8 years away And...

In Rebuilding the RN Brown notes 'In 1967 consideration was given to a stretched Type 82 to replace the Tiger class as helicopter ships' (DEFE 16/617 (PRO)) Were any drawings made?

Hi all, the most of you knows the real aircraft of Port Victoria like the P.V.2/5/7/8/9. Can anyone of you help with drawings and technical data for the aircraft projects of Port Victoria. I need help with P.V. 1, P.V. 3, P.V. 4 and P.V.6. I believe the "Grain Griffon" was the P.V.10, is this...
