Just an aside... These planes look like something Burt_Rutan would have come up with had he been a designer long ago. A plane ahead of its time? Itsfullofstars 00:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Transatlantic mail carrier

A civil transatlantic mail carrying version is mentioned in a newspaper article of 15.5.46 in All Services Daily Newspaper of South East Asia Command. 'The Post Office is considering plans for a trans-Atlantic airmail service in 500 mile-an-hour jet planes carrying nearly two tons of mail. Miles Aircraft Ltd., Reading, have submitted detailed schemes for a tandem wing Libellula air-craft [...] Mails would be compressed to fit into standard containers which would slide into a special compartment. Planes will be all-metal with a crew of two and powered with two or three jet engines of well-proved design. A wooden model of the Libellula on which the project is based has been flying for three years.' Robert P Connolly (talk) 10:04, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
