It could be that one, but not sure if that would be described as a blended wing. The fact that Vickers became part of BAC would fit the bill, though.

Thats a really interesting aircraft (The Atlantic). They should have built it!, looks to me like something out of Thunderbirds, quite futuristic.

it would have needed support and had it got it that would have meant something else that did get supported wouldn't have.

One of many impactable designs that never saw the light of day :)
