I've mentioned in another thread that I'm looking at bashing up a HS P.1141 from a F11F Tiger kit & some other bits & bobs.  The only info I've got on it is a three view & a short paragraph in the appendices of Tony Butler's British Secret Projects: Jet Bombers.  I'm assuming it was only a short term study due to the lack of info, but it intrigues me.


"P.1141  Supersonic V/STOL strike fighter, 5.60. Single reheated BE.53/11, forward pair of vectoring nozzles plus jet pipe, span 25ft (7.6m) length 46ft (14.9m).  Second version had VG wing.
(Scan & quote from from Britsh Secret projects: Jet bombers)

A Google search only brings up a link to Harrier.org.uk, but I can't get in at the moment.  Does anbody else have any info?  Are there any images of the VG version?
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Maybe you could take your chance with... the Brooklands museum ? Try to PM them...  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Brooklands have two drawings, one of the fixed wing version as above and one of the VG version.

Great, thanks guys, I'll contact Brooklands & see if they'll be good enough to let me have a copy of their drawings.  You know, it didn't occur to me even though their name is on image!
