Very impressive range of aircraft Richard. Was intrigued by the narrow delta winged one in foreground. Would it be a Handley Page HP115 development aircraft?

Richard, that is the one to the best of my limited knowledge of the HP.

I should have remembered it at Yeovilton museum to the rear of Concorde during our small TM group visit a few years ago.

Thanks Richard and very appropriate it was located in the museum next to Concorde as it taught them a lot about Delta wing aircraft during its 13 year flight span. Apparently Neil Armstrong was due to fly it early on but NASA refused due to his involvement with them. He did eventually fly it in 1970 though.

Found the same photo on the cover of an old "AeroModeller" mag, with a key to the aircraft

How spooky, when I saw the first picture, I had a vague recollection of making a Jetex model of it when I was 11 or 12. but did not figure it was worth mentioning.

Edit: After about 60 seconds of Googling https://jetex.org/images/Plans/HandleyPageHP-115.pdf

I did some work at Colerne back in the 1980s. Was unaware there had been such a great museum.

I used to attach 'em to model boats, surprisingly fast if you could get it 'on the plane' and skimming
