I reckon that was the missing one Roger was thinking about and I've been trying since to think of:D

How about the Nene Viking the first Jet airliner when it carried pax to Paris?.

twin engine feederliner...ugly. Cunliffe-Owen Concordia.

Yep alertken, Easty and Garry that's the one.
Garry, have added the Belfast due to it's important civil career. Also added the Avro C.19 - they were built for civil customers. IMHO the Nene Viking is still a Viking? (The Tudor underwent a similar transformation)
D1566, I think the Wayfarer can be regarded as a development of the 170.
dailee, point taken and HDM 105 removed.
keith and garry - Lincolnian added.

I think that has answered everyone so here is the current version of the types list. Maybe tomorrow start a new thread using it to list what is still around.

Anyone got strong opinions about not including single-engined types?
