Самолеты Heston
<...>
Фирма в 1938 году спроектировала и построила два самолета первоначального обучения по спецификации T.1/37 Министерства авиации.
Сборка двух аэродинамически чистых низкопланов Heston Type 5 Racer началась в 1939 году. Самолеты предназначались для попытки установления рекорда скорости и оснащались 2300-сильными моторами Napier Sabre. Первый прототип G-AFOK разбился в первом же полете 12 июня 1940 года. Сборку второй опытной машины Type 5 сразу прекратили.

Регистрационный номер: L7706 [7] The Heston T.1/37 was built to the same specification as the Miles M.15, but the unfortunate fact that it proved impossible to get the required performance within the limits set by the specification rather cramped the builders' style, and the requirement was dropped.

Регистрационный номер: L7706 [7] The fin and rudder of the trainer looked incongruous, and are reminiscent of those of the company's Napier racer of the same period.

Two views of the manufacturer’s scale model of the Heston T.1/37 trainer. The design of the aircraft was completed in May 1937 and the full-sized trainer differed from the model only in detail.
