Great thread topic, never seen the P.1205 mockup before.

 

[Mike Pryce]

The P.1205 did not have a mockup built. The image above is of the BAe Warton P.109, which used a 'twin poster' nozzle system.


Of course, Kingston did build a mockup of the P.1216


All are covered in my book

What happened to all the mockups? Were they broken up and destroyed or is there a chance they survive in a warehouse somewhere?

I've gotta better question, did the 1154 ever have a cockpit shot?

Are these really the only two photos of the P.1154? There has to be more out there somewhere I sincerely hope.

One more photo on my site:

http://www.harrier.org.uk/history/history_p1154.htm

plus the two seater.

There are more photos, whcih I scanned so long ago they live on a floppy disk I have, but no computer with a floppy drive...

What about cockpit instrument photos hmmmm?????

A full size mockup of the BAe P.125 was made.
Model pictured.

Back in 97 I found myself in the Chad archive on official bussines looking out data to support MRA4. Looking through piles of paper and with a bit of an interest in the Avro 730 I kept a close eye out for any references. Pickings were slim, but I did find a short memo which made reference to " an inspection of the full scale mock up of the Avro 730 on Woodford South Site". I know the Woodford photo store was lost in a fire, so I guess it's not suppriseing that photo may not exist but there is one well known heavily airbrushed picture which I've always assumed is a model. Just maybe?

The mock-up of the former Farnborough Aircraft F1 turboprop was found languishing at the NGTE Pyestock ( see
http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,1981.msg16860.html#msg16860 )

The photo below shows it in a better condition as the Richard Noble Farnborough Aircraft F1 Mock-up exhibit at Farnborough 26 July 2000.

Note the large rectangular cabin windows which were replaced by oval ones in the US built derivative.

The design rights were passed to a US company as the Kestrel JP100 (later JP10) after a manufacturing deal in the UAE fell through.

Bae P.125 mockup being made, apparently. Sadly no images of the final thing...
