They must have edited that article as there is no mention of a jet now.

I think Auntie Beeb should send it's articles here first for final proof reading. That said, much would never get printed

Indeed Ben

Turbo-prop is a jet......prop jet

What we call a jet is a pure jet but they are both types of jet

Some T/P in the fifties and sixties were labelled jet power on the livery.

The opposite of a non aviation mate of mine that reffered to Britannias Vanguards and Viscount or anything with propellers as piston engined

Was amused the other day when Granada news was reporting an old 748 being sunk in a pond for divers to play with. They reported the "1960's Portuguese airliner"
