This bizarre experimental design was intended to lead to a VTOL ship-based convoy escort fighter but not surprisingly proved difficult to fly. Powered by a very unreliable Allison YT40-A-6 turboprop consisting of two T38s coupled together, it made a first untethered flight and transition to the horizontal in 8.54 - the first successful VTOL flight in history in an aircraft that was not a helicopter or an autogiro. Three were built but this was the only one to fly. Now stored for the NASM

Operating with Bluebird, clearly showing their Qantas-style livery which was modified when the aircraft was obtained from Eastern Australia (along with four others) in Sep 2008. The same scheme was carried across to other Dash 8s in the fleet even though they were not from Qantas companies, including three ex-SAS Q400s
