This was the second Viscount prototype, fitted with short fuselage and two Rolls Royce Tay turbojets for test purposes. This appearance at the 1950 Farnborough SBAC show was its only public display. Latterly mainly used by Boulton Paul for control systems tests. Damaged beyond repair by fire in a wheel well during 1958 and scrapped at Seighford in 1960 with 110 total flying hours.

The sole FD-1 has just arrived from Fairey's Stockport factory on a trailer. The angled arrangement was to occupy less road width. VX350 made runs down Ringway's 4200 ft main runway in May 1950 before being taken to A&AEE at Boscombe Down for its first flight on 12 March 1951. Used for tests of the delta wing before being written off by an RAF pilot. Two other FD.1's were cancelled (VX357/364). From Fairey's many years ago.
