bootneck Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I am trying to identify this aircraft type. It has a De Havilland type overwing engine but I haven't been able to identify it anywhere. cheers, Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Mc Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Airspeed was a subsidiary of de Havilland - so that might explain the de Havilland features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Not at that stage, it was still independent and new. The designer was Neville Shute Norway. (Better known as a novelist.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanm Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Under his pen name Nevil Shute, he tells the story of Airspeed and its eventual takeover by De Havilland in his autobiography "Slide Rule" - a very good read. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
