The Vickers-Armstrong V-1000, was a 'still-born' jet-powered cargo aircraft, designed to meet a Royal Air Force requirement for strategic transport, to support its strategic bomber fleet, particularly the V-bombers. Based on elements of the Vickers Valiant, it was not built.😞

No coincidence that Alpha Trion should lose his head at the same time as Blackrock's true identity is revealed; Alpha Trion is part of the Titans Return toyline (sporting the aircraft mode he is seen using in this issue).

When function triumphs over form!😲The 1940 Fleet Shadower requirement was for a highly specialized aircraft, intended to follow enemy naval forces over long times and radio back their positions. Both General Aviation and Airspeed built prototypes, but neither entered service.😉

The Dornier Do 23 started out life as a transport/mail-plane in the late 1920s, but it soon became the first medium bomber to equip the new Luftwaffe, in the mid 1930s. Several aircraft were still giving valuable service (as trainers for bomber pilots and crews), well into WW 2!
