Swept forward wing design (1956)

It was raced at High Wycombe reaching the semi-finals, Cranfield again reaching the semi-finals and at last placing 2nd at Dartford 1956.

I was told years later the St Albans club held a special club night just to discuss the merits of the swept foreword wing.

I made one change to the tail surface for V3 reducing the tail in area to reduce the glide time.

The by product of this design was that the fuel tank to be moved for the best engine run and of course I stood a very good chance of getting in the magazines again!
