The Brabazon Committees remit was prepare an ‘outline specification for several aircraft types needed for post-war air transport’.
With the benefit of hindsight, what ‘Types’ would you request specifications for and what designs would you use to fill them to produce a healthier UK aircraft manufacturing industry.
I’m not sure if it looked into powerplants, but are there any that you would have chosen rather than the one actually used?

With out my Putnams handy…
I’m fairly sure the Viscount resulted from the committee.
Was the H-P Herald (or was that response to the F.27)?Princess Flying Boat?
The H.P.R. 3/7 Herald was an outgrowth of the Miles Marathon (in its original incarnation). The Marathon was a result of the Brabazon committee’s type 5a requirement.

I think they made an excellent choice with the Britannia – no need to even think of alternatives!
