Seeing this picture the name AVRO Ashton came up in my mind... Wasn't that plane related
to this Tudor 8 ????

made!
Hopefully there are more of these rareties..........

From Wikipedia, "The Avro 689 Tudor 9 was based on the Avro 689 Tudor II piston-engined
airliner using experience on work on the Rolls-Royce Nene jet-powered experimental variant
the Tudor 8. The Avro Type 689 Tudor 9 later renamed the Avro 706 Ashton was a four-jet
engined research aeroplane powered by Rolls-Royce Nene engines paired in wing nacelles."

The second prototype Tudor I was rebuilt to Tudor IV standards. It was later fitted with
four Rolls-Royce Derwent 5 turbojets in under-wing paired nacelles. Given the military
identification VX195, The Tudor 8 carried out its first flight at Woodford on 6 September
1948, and a few days later, it was demonstrated at the SBAC Show at Farnborough. Later,
the Tudor 8 was used for high-altitude experiments tests at Boscombe Down and RAE
Farnborough before being broken up in 1951
