British AEW projects: Nimrod and Britannia

[Hobbes]

Bristol Britannia BEWARE:

as pictured in Chris Gibson's books 'The Air Staff and AEW' and 'Battle Flight'. I followed the drawing, with one exception: after Chris mentioned the limitations of Britannia's electrical system, I added a large APU under the left wing root.

Very nice. I like them.

What's next? A four-engined HS748 with rotodome and Skyflash?

Thanks, I love seeing my stuff brought to life.

The next one will be an 'Atlas' Shoulders' project: the HP.111.

 

[Hobbes]

I'll be displaying these and the HP.111 at Telford next weekend. Photos to follow.

 

[CJGibson]

Excellent. Look forward to seeing them.

Wonderful ! That AEW Britannia is quite similar to a Tu-126 Moss or the AEW Orion with APS-125 that was used by the Coast Guards (from memory).
