The model depicts VW 120 a high speed version OF the DH 108 which almost certainly broke the sound barrier in August 1948. The Mach Meter went off the clock and was later corrected to Mach 1.02. This aircraft crashed in February 1950 killing it's pilot S/Ldr Muller-Rowland head of Aero flight at The Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough. I arrived at RAE 5 days later on 20/02/1950 knowing nothing of this, and shortly after saw the last DH108, TG283. give a display similar to the one given by the model in this video. On 1st May 1950 I was walking by the main runway and saw a DH 108 Swallow waiting to take off. This little plane had already fascinated me, (I was 16 yearS old), and I stopped and just stared. After a few seconds it started to move, I gave it the "thumbs up", and was surprised when the pilot returned it. I later found out he was S/Ldr Eric Genders, the new head of aero flight, and about 15 minutes later was dead because the aircraft crashed at Hartley Wintney. I worked in the General Instruments department was later given two bent and battered pitot heads to check out. I was told some days later that these came from VW120 and TG235. I was really upset by this but in those days you just carried on. And so the last DH108 was gone, and the three made had killed had killed three test pilots. The video brought it all back
