British Research and Development Aircraft
British Research and Developmental Aircraft, 1945–65, vol 1
War was the catalyst that propelled advances in British military aircraft design, with multiple manufacturers competing to develop newer, more powerful machines and win lucrative government contracts. Following the onset of the Cold War, those manufacturers were forced to amalgamate to stay afloat, and those that withstood the demise of their industry worked to promote aircraft development to meet unclear future needs.
The aircraft featured in this book are the research machines or service aircraft prototypes that played a significant role in the evolution of the industry. Many of these survivors were built for test purposes and their design evolution eventually led to the manufacture of familiar types that saw service with the armed forces. Others failed to make it off the drawing board or were on their way to completion before the government of the day decided to cancel them.

Why Buy Direct
A magazine that truly inspires
I’ve been reading Airliner World for as long as I can remember. A magazine that truly inspires, with great articles and beautiful pictures.
Aaron B
Best on the market
I’d say Airfix Model World is the best on the market. Well laid out, well written and plenty of diversity. Definitely the magazine the others strive to beat
Tim H
Most technically accurate railway magazine
Modern Railways is the most technically accurate railway magazine in the business and with writers of the calibre of Ford, Walmsley and Willias, what is not to like?
Graham H
Gets better every year
I have almost every issue of FlyPast and it gets better every year. Great detailed articles and enjoyable stories in each issue
David L
Spectacular imagery
Between the spectacular imagery and timely articles, I can think of no better magazine related to modern military aviation than Combat Aircraft

Subscribing since the 80's!
I started buying Aeroplane Monthly in ‘76 or ‘77. By the early 80’s I bought a subscription and I still have it. I love the magazine.
