As promised here is Part 3 - These cards are part of a series of 25, un-numbered Mornflake Oats real photo airplane cards produced in 1953 by Morning Foods Ltd, North Western Mills, Crewe, England. I will post the complete set as the days go on.
The Boulton Paul P.111 is a delta-wing research aircraft powered by one Rolls-Royce Nene turbo-jet engine. It is from the study of aero-dynamic data provided by these small aircraft that larger and even more surprising machines are ultimately developed.
The Fairey Firefly VI is an anti-submarine aircraft powered by one Rolls-Royce Griffon engine of over 2,000 h.p. It has a maximum speed of 386 m.p.h. at 14,000 ft. Its main duty is to operate from aircraft carriers, but various types have been produced to undertake a variety of tasks. All the latest submarine detection devices are carried.
The Bristol 173 is Britain's first twin-rotor helicopter. The rotors are arranged in tandem, the rear rotor being raised above that at the forward end of the aircraft. Each is driven by an Alvis Leonides engine, but the two are coupled so that if necessary one engine can drive the two rotors. The Type 173, Mark I, seats from 10 to 12 passengers.
The Short Sealand is a five-eight seat amphibian, powered by two de Havilland Gypsy Queen 70 piston engines of 345 h.p. each. It has a cruising speed of 173 m.p.h. and a maximum speed of 200 m.p.h. The Sealand is in production for several overseas airlines.
Originally designed as a jet bomber, the Short S.A.4 is now used for high altitude and high-speed experimental work. It is powered by four Rolls-Royce Avon engines mounted in pairs above and below the wings, which are exceptionally thin for an aircraft of this type. The normal crew of the S.A.4 is five. Wing span - 109 ft. and is 102 ft. long.
