Summary
| Description |
c/n F.9421 Built 1954 as a Fairey Delta FD.2, the first of the two aircraft built. On 10th March 1956 and flown by company test pilot Peter Twiss, it set a new World Airspeed record of 1,132mph making it the first aircraft to exceed 1,000mph in level flight. Starting in 1960, WG774 was rebuilt as the BAC221 and flew again in this form during 1964. It was longer and had an ogival delta, or Ogee, wing. This was primarily to carry out high speed research for the Concorde programme, in tandem with the HP115 carrying out slow speed research. It was retired in 1973 and in 1975 it went on display at the Scottish Museum of Flight at East Fortune. It moved to Yeovilton in May 1980 to be displayed alongside Concorde prototype G-BSST and the HP115. Seen on display in Hall 4 as part of the ‘Leading Edge’ exhibiton. Fleet Air Arm Museum RNAS Yeovilton, Somerset, UK. 30th June 2019 |
