A couple of ideas for Steve Young when he gets his twin rating

Or could it be the new Bomber Command Assiciation Motability scooter?

B2.5 Mitchell. What a car!

The Speedtwin was invented and built by Peter Phillips. Now sadly no longer with us, he was a long term Tiger Club display pilot, solo BA4B display pilot (G-AWPZ) in the 70s and IIRC, was also the Britten Norman Demo pilot 70s and 80s.

I think it’s based down in Kent with a couple of chaps who intend to promote & market it again. Bill Blair-Hickman (Hawker Hunter Aviation – Scampton and long term Hunter Display pilot) also flies it.

As to Speedtwin i believe it was a new build and think it had something to do with the team behind Thrust ssc,Richard Noble

It was new build and the designer had nothing to do with the Thust SSC. IIRC, he was a private individual (forget his name now) ex-RAF and an inventor. It was intended to market it as a kit, but the designer died from cancer before these plans came to fruition. It was tested extensively by Pliot Magzine.

Nice pic of my mate Arthur Mitchell(get it?),As to Speedtwin i believe it was a new build and think it had something to do with the team behind Thrust ssc,Richard Noble i maybe wrong but i seem to remember him promoting it originally,He has?had his own aviation company too and had talked of making Training aircraft and maybe even giving Learjet a run for their money by building a business jet.

Duxfordhawk- yes she’s still current on the resgister, I’ve just checked her on G-INFO. Was the Speedtwin a conversion of something or a new build?

Geoff.

Does the Speedtwin still exist?I remember her at Biggin92 but never seen her since.

Or maybe…..
