Регистрационный номер: WG774 [12] The BAC Type 221 on the day of its roll-out in July 1963. Note the spindly new undercarriage compared to the Fairey Delta 2 - the main gears were new but based on the design used for the English Electric Lightning

Регистрационный номер: WG774 [12] Because of the basic similarity between the wing plan forms of the Type 221 and Concorde, it was announced by BAC’s press office that "the 221 research programme will make an important contribution to Concorde development."

Регистрационный номер: WG774 [12] Another view of the Type 221 being rolled out after completion at BAC's Tilton works. The press release stated that the 221 "is specifically intended for investigating the handling properties of the slender delta and for flight research into the aerodynamic characteristics of this planform in the subsonic, transonic and supersonic speed ranges."
Construction of the BAC 221 research aircraft was completed in October 1963
During the summer of 1959, the first of the two Fairey FD.2 high speed research deltas, WG774, was singled out for major modification to help with the high speed phase of Concorde wing development. Transferred from the RAE, Bedford to BAC's Filton facility, WG774 underwent major surgery, to emerge four and a half years later as the BAC 221, as seen here at its roll-out. First flown in this guise with its new ogival wing on 1 May 1964, this machine returned to RAE, Bedford in May 1966, from where it continued to fly for the next eight and a half years.Самолёты на фотографии: BAC BAC.221 - Великобритания - 1964
