The revoluntionary new aircraft that Britain had devloped - Why did it never go into production and service as promised?
In a dilapidated house, in the heart of the English countryside, an astounding, find is set to rock the lives of its two new owners. A chance discovery of a metal box in the house attic has placed the lives of the husband and wife and those they know and come into contact with, in grave danger. These secrets, that have remained undiscovered and covered up for more than half a century, are set to be made public. If successful, the two finds will rewrite aviation history and throw fresh light on Rudolph Hess apparent suicidal flight to Scotland. It will also expose Britain for being in a peace alliance with alliance with Nazi Germany before France invaded.
Upon the discovery, the two people, Hamish and Bonnie McElroy are stunned to discover that a picture taken, before even Poland bad been invaded, contained not only Winston Churchill but also the entire German hierarchy and it had been snapped in what was now their refurbished living room.
The apparent cordial and peaceful demeanor hid a treachery that neither side was aware of at that time Germany did not fully trust Britain and had grave doubts about its validity, sensing that that Americans might try to sway Britain out of the alliance once hostilities in Europe started. Britain for their part, did not fully trust Germany, thinking that, the concord might be nothing more that a delaying tactic to catch Britain unaware, that after the invasion and defeat of France, that Hitler would renege on the deal and force Britain to either sue for peace of suffer invasion themselves.
Britain entered into the agreement with guarded caution. Secretly, they had something that they knew Germany did not have themselves. And this was the second secret. Britain had built, developed and fully tested the world's first delta winged jet aircraft. The Rapier jet fighter and bomber version were decades ahead of their time and had been stamped to go into service in March and April of 1940,
Through intelligence mediums, the, United States learned of the aircraft and its bomber companion and negotiated for them to be shipped to America, to be tested in conjunction with a new weapon that they themselves were testing; the atomic bomb. It was seen as the ideal strike partnership, astonishing speed and deadly delivery, with un paralleled destruction. Britain agreed with reservation. It was a decision that would prove to be catastrophic. Just days into the North Atlantic voyage, the ships carrying the aircraft, the entire development and construction teams, were torpedoed and sunk by German U-Boats.
Now, years later, the chance discovery has landed Hamish with the opportunity he has been praying for; the chance to sell his discovery as a publishable manuscript and give is career the renewed kick start he needs.
