Boulton Paul P.120 'the Black Widow Maker' British experimental high speed delta-wing research and test aircraft. An advanced version of the previous P.111. The P.120 first flight was on 6th August 1952 and the last flight was on 29th August 1952 which resulted in the loss of the aircraft!The redesigned tail added extra weight to the P.120 and made it slightly sluggish compared to the lighter P.111. As test pilot A.E. 'Ben' Gunn found on his first flight, positive trimming of the delta tail plane is required to reduce the take-off run! Includes model with working air brakes, brake chute and 3D VC based on cockpit photo's.
