  The Pioneers : An Anthology : Harry George Hawker (1889 - 1921)
Hawker believed that in England he would soon learn to fly and the young man of scarcely 22 years of age left his native shores hoping of success in the new sphere and perhaps at the same time wondering if he was doing the right thing.
Hawker was met by friends soon after the `Maloja' had berthed and was taken to the St Kilda Town Hall, where he was greeted by the Mayor of St Kilda and citizens and councillors from St Kilda, Brighton and Moorabbin.
Hawker was forced to land only a few miles short of the finish line and for his efforts was awarded a 'special prize' of 1000 pounds by the newspaper.

 History of the Hawker Siddeley Trident   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The aircraft performed well and was reliable but BEA soon realised that they had made a mistake with the specification and that their original plan for the larger aircraft was the one that should have been carried through.

The Tridents were built at the de Havilland site at Hatfield, Hertfordshire, UK, becoming a Hawker Siddeley Aviation site when the individual company names were dropped in 1963 and subsequently a British Aerospace site during the nationalisation of the British aircraft industry in 1978 and consequent merger of HSA with the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC).

By the 1960s VTOL research in the USA had come almost to a standstill; but at that time the UK was progressing with development of the Pegasus vectored-thrust engine.
