The third of four prototypes of a fighter developed to specification E.1/44. The first was wrecked during transport to Boscombe Down. The second suffered poor handing and the third was fitted with a revised fin and tailplane. It still failed to impress the RAF and the fourth aircraft was not completed. TX148 was briefly used a test bed at Farnborough and then scrapped. Photo from: Imperial War Museums
