During WWII, de Havilland produced the Mosquito the earlier TFE 731-3 engines. With the -3 engines the Hawker 700 was a sluggish and Hornet aircraft. The Mosquito was constructed using wood because aluminum performer on hot days and high altitudes. With the -5 engines and the additional 600 was in short supply during WWII. De Havilland introduced the Comet in 1952 as the pounds of thrust, the performance deficiencies were corrected and an additional 430 first production commercial airliner. Due to design flaws from metal fatigue, the nautical miles was added to the range Comet suffered three tragic accidents. The Comet was redesigned and, although sales were small, it remained in service until the retirement of the Comet 4C in 1997. In 1995, Raytheon introduced the XP version of the Hawker 800. The TFE 731-5BR Hawker Siddeley bought the de Havilland Aircraft Company in 1960.

Aircraft not yet certified will be noted as Awaiting Cert in bold red on the program screen and bold print in the footnotes section printout. This is to indicate the data shown is preliminary in nature. If an aircraft is marked as Preliminary Data, the aircraft has been certified but the data is still preliminary at this stage. Methodology and Disclaimer It is the opinion of Conklin & de Decker that the data presented in this publication is based on resonable methodologies and assumptions, and reliable sources. Manufacturer data may be based on differing assumptions, sales price adjustments, individually negotiated fleet contracts, differing warranties, or specialty maintenance programs particular to a manufacturer or year of production, and is therefore, in the opinion of Conklin & de Decker, not suitable for comparison with other aircraft. Conklin & de Decker has made adjustments based on research, which in its opinion are reasonable and necessary in order to provide a database that is suitable for comparative purposes. Actual experience will vary, and the data does not reflect specialized maintenance contracts, seperately negotiated fleet deals, or other items unique to particular sales transactions. The Conklin & de Decker Report is not intended as a budgeting tool.

  • Sopwith and Hawker at the Ham Factory, North Kingston
    SOPWITH AND HAWKER AT THE HAM FACTORY, NORTH KINGSTON The National Aircraft Factory No.2 was built through the winter of 1917 by the Ministry of Munitions and leased by Sopwith Aviation to more than double their production capacity The factory which stood near Ham Common on the road between Kingston and Richmond was built in 26 weeks. It was one of four huge factories in a scheme where contractors would make aircraft under licence but Sopwith leased this one to build their own products. From April 1918 hundreds of Sopwith fighter aircraft were being built at Ham Sopwith Snipes, Dolphins and Salamanders were built in large numbers but, when the war ended a year earlier than predicted, many orders were cancelled leaving huge stocks of unwanted components. Sopwith’s offer to buy the factory was refused by the Government and it was sold for £227,000 to Leyland Motors In 1948 Leyland Motors sold the Ham factory to Hawker Aircraft Ltd who needed a large factory in which to build their new jet aircraft designs By the late 1940s the Canbury Park Road Kingston Factory was unsuitable for modern aircraft design and construction and Hawker Aircraft’s Langley satellite factory was too close to the new Heathrow airport. The Company considered moving completely to a large factory in Blackpool before approaching Leyland Motors to buy the Ham Factory occupied by Sopwith Aviation 30 years earlier. The price was agreed at £585,000. Through the 1950s Hawker Hunters were in “Super Priority” production at Ham for the Royal Air Force and other NATO forces With the Cold War at its height the Government and NATO gave “Super Priority” status to Hunter production at the Ham factory and also at Hawker’s satellite factory at Blackpool and Armstrong Whitworth’s at Bagginton, Coventry.

The aircraft, a Meteor (G-LOSM), Vampire (G-HELV), Hawker Hunter T7 (G-VETA) and a single seat Hawker Hunter F4 (G-HHUN) had planned to transit in formation. However before departure G-HHUN had experienced a problem with an exhaust gas temperature (EGT) gauge and so the other three aircraft departed initially and G-HHUN followed some 20 minutes later, taking off at 1141 hrs. After landing, G-HHUN was refueled with 730 litres of AVTUR for its forthcoming practice display at Biggin Hill. The pilots of the Vampire and Meteor left their aircraft at Dunsfold and returned to Bournemouth as passengers in a light aircraft.
