There’s footage of a model in 1938/9 (looking VERY like a Connie) in a wind-tunnel on the Pathe website.
Got this as well, haven’t been able to find any figures for it though

The FC1 was only a project. Amongst other references there is a reasonably good article (inc a basic drawing) on it and other Short,GA and Bristol airliner projects cut short by the war in Air International -(Air Enthusiast in those days) of September 1972. H.A. Taylor devotes a chapter to it in his Putnam Book on Faireys.
