Boulton Paul Defiant Mark I
Aircraft & Exhibits, 1940-1944, Cosford, Hangar Two, 74/A/16
The Defiant introduced a new tactical concept in two-seat RAF fighter design by concentrating all armament in a four-gun turret behind the cockpit. During the Battle of Britain, it proved no match for German fighters and was quickly withdrawn from daylight operations and moved to a night-fighter role.
Fairey Delta 2
Aircraft & Exhibits, FEB 1956-SEP 1967, Cosford, Hangar Two, 85/A/10
In the late 1940s Britain was trailing far behind in supersonic aircraft design. To try to retrieve matters the Ministry of Supply issued a specification for a supersonic research aircraft, and Fairey set about meeting this with a delta-winged aircraft designed for investigation into flight and control at transonic and supersonic speeds.
