Historical Info
In March 1944 Westland Aircraft's Technical Director, W E W Petter, had completed a private venture design study for a high-speed twin jet-powered fighter-homber in two versions. This followed discussions between the company and the Ministry of Aircraft Production (MAP). The P. 1056 had the tailweel arrangement used most piston aircraft. Power was supplied by a pair of 3.500Ib (15.6kN) Metropolitan Vickers (MetroYick) F.2/4 Beryl axial jet engines mounted side-by-side in the centre fuselage and fed by a large nose intake. The P. 1056 had two crew seated side-by-side in a cockpit placed close to the nose to give an excellent view, four 20mm cannon mounted in the lower forward fuselage and a large internal bomb bay situated behind the engines and beneath their exhaust pipes for carrying up to six bombs or other loads including rocket projectiles.
The project generated much interest and a mock-up was built of the nose and central fuselage, while Petter had on his desk a scale model complete with bombs, engines and other internal fittings. The project died when Petter left the Westland company
