Metal Print : Napier N.ScD.n Double Scorpion rocket motor
Metal Prints from Mary Evans Picture Library
Napier N.ScD.n Double Scorpion rocket motor
The installation of the Napier N.ScD.n Double Scorpion rocket motor on English Electric Canberra B.2 WK163. This clearly shows the High Test Peroxide (HTP) oxidiser tank in the forward bomb bay and the double-barrelled thrust chambers, mounted at the rear. (Location: Napiers flight test unit at Luton Airport) The Double Scorpion (N.ScD.n) engine was simultaneously developed with the single-chamber Scorpion, consisting of two Scorpion engines mounted together with each unit individually controllable, developing double the thrust. From 1956 Double Scorpion engines were fitted experimentally to two Canberra light bombers, to improve high altitude performance. On 28 August 1957 WK163, fitted with a Double Scorpion, broke the world altitude record, exceeding 70, 000 ft (21, 000 m). (Wikipedia) WK163 (msn 71399) was delivered to Napier at Luton on 28 January 1955, later sold and placed on the UK register as G-BVWC, moved to Baginton, then Doncaster. Date: 1957

VISUAL DESCRIPTION
Underbelly of a Vintage Aircraft This black and white photograph captures the intricate undercarriage of an older model aircraft, possibly from the mid-20th century. The image showcases the exposed mechanical components beneath the plane's fuselage, including its robust landing gear assembly with a visibly treaded tire and sturdy struts. Above this detailed network of metal parts, we can see part of the aircraft’s smooth underside surface. In the background, there are blurred figures near vehicles, indicating activity at an airfield or hangar area. The presence of multiple cars suggests that this could be either a public event or routine operations at an airport. The photo exudes a sense of historical aviation engineering and design.
