Scimitar F.1 XD248/“195/R” of Lossiemouth-based No 807 Sqn fires a salvo of eight rocket projectiles during armament trials. Capable of carrying a lethal package of ordnance, including tactical nuclear weapons, the Scimitar was light-years ahead of the Sea Hawk it replaced in Royal Navy service. Note the stylised scimitar motif applied to the fins of No 807 Sqn’s examples.

The first N.113 Type 544, WH854, makes its maiden take-off from Boscombe Down on January 19, 1956, piloted by Lithgow. Note dihedral tailplane.
Intended for the Fleet Air Arm as a strike-fighter the Vickers-Supermarine N.113 prototype WT854 took to the air for the first time on 20th January, at A. & A.E.E., Boscombe Down, Hampshire. The size of the N.113, can be gauged by reference to the silhouette of the test pilot's head in the "bubble" canopy. The "needle"-nose yaw meter extension will not appear on the production models. Apart from 30-mm. Aden cannon and guided missiles, an atomic bomb is suggested as possible stores.
