Summary

Description Model of the English Electric P.10 high altitude Mach 3 reconnaissance aircraft intended to reconnoitre V-bomber targets before and after missions. It was an extremely advanced design with a wing that would be used for both lift and propulsion: two turbojets would have been positioned in the wing roots for take-off (and landing) and to attain a speed where a bank of ramjets, fed by the slot intakes in the leading edge of the wings, would ignite and then be the primary propulsion for the mission. It would have been fitted with two sideways looking radar units plus a high-specification camera. Unfortunately, though regarded as very impressive, it was regarded as too ambitious and lost out to the Avro 730 for production. However, in the event that, too, was cancelled when the infamous 1957 Defence Review saw no future for combat aircraft since all future wars would be fought by guided missiles! At the RAF Museum, Cosford, Shropshire, 8 July 2020.
