The only one I can think of that fits that time frame, FF Nov 15 1959 is the Canadair CL-44 :think:

Not an Aircraft, but a classic British machine never-the-less, it's The Mini! :dancer:

Congratulations Chris......you got your free virtual pint!! :thumbsup: CHEERS

Here you were all struggling to think of a classic aircraft when in fact it was the mini, now Derek knows why I had that smug look on my face!! :lol:

The Mini was the car I learn't to drive in and pass my driving test in with the starter situated on the floor.

Regards
Nigel.
