Trident The Unsung Hero

REF:D24289

Hawker Sidderley’s Trident airliner, first developed in the 1950’s, ushered in the Jet Age of civil aviation for millions.

The Trident pushed the limits of technology , from its outstanding speed capabilities to its revolutionary Automatic Landing system and triplicate dual controls. It was a true milestone in British aviation history - but never achieved its full  potential. 

This unique documentary featuring much rare footage from the BAE Systems archive reveals why the Trident blazed the way in civil aviation, but  fell victim to the Boeing 727, which it had inspired. Interviews include Chief Design Engineer John Martin, ex - BEA captain Tony Angus and Neil Lomax, Project Director of the Trident Preservation Society, providing a fascinating insight into the development, handling characteristics and history of the important British airliner.
