| Barry, 19.06.2009 The Trident 2E had three Rolls Royce Spey RB163-25 Mk512 turbo fans as noted.The original engine was to be the still born R.R.Medway DeHavillands having to replace this with the Spey (essentially a military engine. As correctly noted the Trident 3 had a fourth engine namely a tail mounted R.B.162 booster engine to enable it to get off the ground! | | Frank, f.a.cook(@)btinternet.com, 29.05.2009 The engine was the Spey - a Scottish river a few miles from Lossiemouth. NB all RR jets are named after rivers - from Derwent to Trent. If the site owners fix the typo, please remove this comment. | | Tom Ensign, 01.07.2008 Does the Hawker Siddeley "Trident" 2E REALLY have four engines? The Trident 3B had four, but one was much smaller than the R-R Spay. |
