Were the British the first to present an operational reverse thrust design? A lot of aviation firsts, still used today, can be attributed to the British. Had not seen this. Thanks.
Possibly but the idea of reversing thrust to slow down was not new. Large propeller aircraft had had reversible propellers since around the mid 1940s or possibly earlier.
Lovely film of a lovely aircraft, but no date, when was this, and why wasn't it adopted on squadrons, what happened to that aircraft ? More questions than answers, would love to know more about this.
One of the most beautiful post-war jet fighters! As gorgeous as the Spitfire.
