El Gran Capitán

Se trata de un aparato británico
De uno de sus grandes constructores
Se trata de una version naval de un caza biplaza terrestre
Se trata de un diseño de los 30 del siglo pasado.

A ver que tal ha ido la quiniela.

Vamos a seguir la pista:
F-111B: Buen avión, le decían el hijo del B-1.
Por cambio del clima político, se retorno al Lancer y se abandonó a "su hijo".

El enigma en sí: No lleva un motor Hispano-Suiza, tampoco el Kestrel. Es británico y es de una casa conocida. ¿Bien encaminado?

HANDLEY PAGE HARROW and HANDLEY PAGE SPARROW - The Handley Page HP.54 Harrow / Handley Page Sparrow was designed under the direction of G R Volkert as a stop-gap night bomber to help RAF expansion in 1935 and was a derivative of the HP.51 bomber-transport prototype to Specification C.26/31. The latter was itself a modification of the HP.43 which had been built to C.I6/28 and first flew on June 21, 1932; this same prototype, J9833, with some HP.54 features, was in use at RAE Farnborough until January 1940. The HP.54 was powered by Pegasus engines, carried 3,000 Ib (1362 kg) of bombs, had accommodation for 20 troops and arma-ment of two Lewis or Vickers 0.303 in (7.7 mm) machine guns each in nose and tail turrets. Production of 100 ordered 'off the drawing board' to Specification 29/35 in August 1935.
Handley Page Harrow I: Initial production batch with 9.80 hp Pegasus X engines. First flown October 10, 1936; initial deliveries to No 214 Sqn, January 1937, and four more squadrons equipped (Mks I & II) by 1938. Twenty built, of which six modified to Mk II.
Handley Page Harrow II: As Handley Page Harrow I but powered by 835 hp Pegasus XX engines. Eighty built and six Mk Is converted. Not operational as bombers after early 1940, but five used by No 420 Flight to drop LAM (long aerial mines) on parachutes in path of enemy bpmbers. Others used for air observer and air gunnery training, for glider towing and miscellaneous duties. Many converted' for transport role, operating with No 1680 Flight (later 271 Sqn) from March 1940 until April 1945 for casualty evacuation and general transport duties; some fitted with lengthened nose and tail fairings, known unofficially as Handley Page Sparrows. Three converted in 1938 as aerial refuelling tankers for transatlantic experiments, of which two impressed into RCAF in 1939.
