As a "devotee" of the Double Mamba from my early childhood, and being a proud Aussie who was impressed by the Jindavik, I found this history fascinating. Thanks for your research into the evolution of the Adder and Viper engines and posting such a wonderful opportunity for us Oldies to reminisce about the 1950's and 1960's.
I remember seeing the Apollo as a young child living in Coventry. Also my dad worked as an aero engine tester in the city. I can remember plenty of his stories about those early jer engines. Brought back many memories for me ..thank you for a great video.
As a Bristol Siddeley Coventry apprentice, the Double Mamba wgas the first gas turbine engine that I laid a spanner (not a wrench in Britain!) on in 1963. The second was the Viper. And many years later, in the 1990s, Viper engines were still being produced. We even had to convert some ex-Jet Provost engines for use in Jindiviks.
Jindivik was a regular at the old RAF fighter base at Llanbedr in North Wales UK. The field is on a large expanse of coastal duneland which attracts a lot of leisure visitors. Fairly frequent landing mishaps gave picnicking parties something unusual to watch as airframes rattled to a standstill amidst cucumber sandwiches. The Dolley used for takeoff was a heavy fearsome thing which shot off down the strip like a runaway train.
I take issue with the claim at 1:50 that the concept of having the jet thrust converted into turning power was 'brand new'. The idea of using the gas turbine to drive propellers on aircraft predated much of the pre war jet engine development and was certainly Griffith and Wagner's starting point and the Hungarian Gyorgy Jendrassik had a test engine running in 1937.
@ottovonskidmarck9464 Surely learning the correct pronunciation of a place name in a foreign land is simply a matter of courtesy? So try this English place name: Happisburgh.
@@grahamj9101 Now that’s a bit unfair...but Americans not being able to properly pronounce the word Borough...when there are a million examples of it being pronounced properly in place names is almost wilful ignorance..

Very cool!
Okay, that snake ad at the end was better than the Lincoln Project ads. Genius!

I had never made the link with the Viper! video well worth it for that information
Good report, I never knew about this plane or these engines, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
