Stumbled across this whilst diving down a Pinterest rabbit hole:

It actually worked quite well, and was a test bed for the Viscount's Dart engine installation.

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan!

Regards
