View of the completed Satellite at Farnborough in September 1948.
Rather similar in lines to the BD-5 series was the British Planet Satellite of 1948. It was a four-seater powered by a 250 h.p. D. H. Gipsy Queen in the tail and was constructed of magnesium alloy. It never flew and was dismantled and melted down.

An artist's impression of the Planet Satellite emphasising the advantage of the family aeroplane over the family car. Even in 1948, judging by the photograph background, road traffic was as congested as it is today.
