Men in suits relaxing in the grass at the 1955 Farnborough show. The crude Sperrin had been developed as a backup in case the V bombers failed. It had two pairs of engines stacked above each other. This is the second of the two prototypes built, which served as research aircraft. This photo was added on 24 June 2023, and has since been viewed 438 times. |
