AirshipsfNflyingboats

yes indeed thanks any idea whats happend?...I could see the attachment box but no image inside it on #5

On the same page/scan was a picture of the Supermarine Seagull 381 at the same show for which I now have plans for a 60" span E flight version.

Yes #5 shows the picture of the Satellite but no Supermarine Seagull ? built that one myself once for free flight power,a superb flyer until a magnetic tree jumped out of a field and hit it head on..crunch !! a very attractive subject for modelling.
The Meteor in the background by the way mentioned by Duncan is G-AKPK the all red T.7 demonstratot which eventually went to the Royal Netherlands air force.
Keep these interesting types coming and experiment loading the pictures.

Big pic reveals tiny slot on top of fuz. Cooling inlet ? Waiting for Seagull pic, got the Satellite pic first time OK.

***Well spotted Duncan,I have been thinking a lot about this design,at that time there was not a wide variety of engines suitable for pushers,the inline Gipsy Queen was hardly a good choice of powerplant given the cooling requirements for a very closed in arrangement,I suspect that the downfall would have been over-heating a killer with tractor airscrews let alone something with no slipstream wafting across the pots,re-designed today with a suitable lightweight fan she would work,couple this with a suitable modern powerplant with plenty of power in reserve,the aircraft reminds me of something out of a 'Dan Dare' story,now I really am showing my age.
