One thing I have found out this evening is that if I put a used sheet of A3 into the relevant drawer, used face up, the printer uses the other side. A very useful thing to know regardless.

Gondor's Modelling Rule Number Three: Everything will fit perfectly untill you apply glue...

I know it's in a book I have around here somewhere....

That's the FIRST thing you need to know about your printer................
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! :)

A project that is piquing my interest

The drawings in question were drawn by Barrie Hygate for the P.1121 book.  I reworked this first one for use in the P1121 book, but page limits prevented its inclusion.

This one is just raw, converted from Barrie's original without editing. Again, no room.

Both are available at higher resolution on Secret Projects Forum website in a hidden section for purchasers of the book containing lots of material that was excluded from the book.

These drawings are speculative. They are based on this single original Hawker drawing -

The bits identical to baseline P.1121 should be reasonably accurate, based on detailed drawings, photographs and measurement of the prototype parts. The new parts are speculatively detailed, shall we say.

I have many other unpublished Barrie Hygate drawings for a variety of subjects, not just P.1121. Barrie Hygate appears to have died before the book was published - he was sick, then his email  went dead and no-one heard from him again. He's never contacted me about the book or asked for his share of the profit, so I can't ask for permission to use them.

If you own a copy of the book but haven't registered for the P.1121 extras section, these are the topics you are missing out on:

If you check the page on Secret Projects, I recently posted a picture of the topic with my copy of the book leaning against the monitor.

The problem is that unless One already has a copy of the book they are not readily available these days. Unless @overscan has a 2nd edition in the pipeline?... nudge nudge, wink wink....

I didn't want to do it until there was enough new material that people that bought the original might want it. Not quite there yet.

I guess with the move of the P.1121 fuselage there may be an opportunity to get some more comprehensive photos of that now?

That's my hope, I'll be in the UK in December.
