Glad you like the HS.136 BH. Those BEA colours actually look quite good and very 60s-70s style. The old red square and black line BEA livery of the late 1950s and early 1960s is my favourite though. Anyway, I'm on a roll today with a second drawing!

The BAC P.45 variable-geometry wing supersonic trainer and light fighter. The colour schemes are of No.2 Squadron and No.226 OCU sometime during the late 1970s.
This is the third 1964 project I've drawn this weekend, halcyon days when Britain might have been short of cash but not ideas. The P.1154 was to be an advanced trainer for pilots going onto the TSR.2 and P.1154/ Phantom. It could also serve in single-seat form as a light strike/interceptor aircraft for overseas theatres. AST.362 was raised and P.45 tendered, some designs had one RB.168 Spey and others two RB.172 (like the design above). As a research type for VG-wing experience the P.45 seemed ideal but the Labour government under Healey signed a MoU to jointly produce an aircraft with France, the Jaguar we know today. Probably with VG this design would have been expensive and unknowns with the wing mechanism etc. might have delayed things. Even so this is one nice-looking little aircraft. The fighter above has two 30mm cannon pods and one ventral hardpoint, shown here carrying Martel.
