Flitzer (Peter Allen) has sent us another great set of profiles of British postwar designs. Pure gold for "what if..." fans - just imagine some of these in the Suez Crisis!...

Great thanks go to Merlin for publishing Vol 3.

Great job. Really interesting reading and viewing.
I especially like the P1061. It is ungly in a very special way. Would love to see that one as a kit.
Thanks for sharing

Excellent work as always Peter.
I cant help thinking that the Vickers Supermarine 553 looks like the MiG 21 Fishbed. Is this just coincidence or is there an interesting story here ?

Sorry for the delay in replying...
Hi and many thanks for your comments.
Dave...
you are right the Type 553 does sort of look MiG-esque.
Whether or not there was some info leak we'll never know...
Many thanks again

Hopefully with Pro Resin doing some Boulton & Avro prototypes we might see some of these coming out.
We can all dream.
