Default What might have been, 1954

Civilian models of the Vickers Valiant and Handley Page Victor V-bombers
were also planned. The Vickers V-1000 won the contest over the Atlantic, but
ultimately none of these designs would be built.

"We have handed to the Americans, without a struggle, the entire world
market for big jet airliners." -- George Edwards, Vickers managing director

Pioneers do not always get the best land, some of them end up in ditches
with arrows in their backs.
