Remark

Photographer

VX158 The Sperrin test bed aircraft displaying at the 1955 Farnborough SBAC show. The unusual engine layout, one-above-the-other, includes three Avons and a powerful Gyron under test in the port lower nacelle. Scrapped at Hatfield in 1958.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat February 19, 2011: Quite a remarkable close range short of a airframe so hard to find even a reference to in books. A proud achievement and one I have great pleasure in viewing. Thank you from Roscar @2011 England
A visitor from Netherlands posted Thu May 27, 2010: Absolutely unique piece of aviation history! Should never have been scrapped!
