... At least it flew. A 300 mph takeoff speed and burning up nearly 3/4 of its fuel just to reach altitude didn't help. Its longest flight was less than an hour. This is the only flight footage I've been able to find: http://www.britishpathe.com/video/two-planes-make-news Still, it made an impression on toy manufacturers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEcVdwWdIQw

... Wasn't this puppy considered one of Britain's worst aeronautical engineering disasters? In terms of money lost, I can think of Bristol Brabazon: £12M (1949 costs) – £350M (2012 inflation adjusted cost) SARO Princess: £10M (1952) for three aircraft http://www.fzt.haw-hamburg.de/pers/S...R_Princess.pdf R101 Airship: £711,595 (1930) None of these entered airline service. In a way, the DeHavilland Comet (1949) was an engineering failure, but it bounced back from its explosive decompression problems and the Comet 4 series which debuted in 1958 had a productive career of over 30 years.
