A lot like the Welkin as well as the Hornet.

There is an error, are 1850 hp motor. This can be seen in the four blades of the thruster. Even the first R & R Merlin had 850 hp. Greetings

Re: 460 mph with a pair of 850 hp "Merlin" engines? Impossible. Now, those engines may have had 1850 hp, but I never heard of any Merlin with only 850. (1850 is itself a bit of a stretch but not impossible, and would have been enough to swing those 4-blade props fast enough to hit off over 400 mph)

850hp Merlin ? 460 mph on two 850hp motors ? Unlikely

This plane was similar in koncept like De Havvilland Hornet and had Merlin 130 engines of 2000 HP each.
