* Wallis (Barnes Neville, 1887-1979). Autograph Letter Signed, 'Daddy', White Hill House, Effingham, Surrey, 6 October 1953, to 'My dear Brother' [i.e. his oldest son Barnes Jr, 1926-2008], thanking him for his letter of birthday good wishes before talking about the Wild Goose project, 'The Wild Goose has flown again, most successfully, except that, owing to too hasty a stiffening of her bow undercarriage, which jerked up, she actually "took-off" twice after her first landing, compelling the pilot to land her 3 times in all plus the 3rd time the speed was so low that she was no longer under control, and sat down on her tail, or rather place where a normal bird would carry its tail!', with a pen and ink diagram showing this landing trajectory, then returning to family matters and agreeing that he can get some maths coaching in the holidays, noting that Boudie is in Welsh Wales with Nancy, 'no husbands by request!' and concluding that he doesn't suppose he shall 'finish the book-shelf before you return!', 2 pages, the second page written horizontally, a later unrelated pencil note by his daughter Mary inscribed to upper left corner of first page, 4toQty: (1)NOTESProvenance: From the family of Barnes Wallis, by direct descent. Wild Goose was an unmanned aerial vehicle developed by Barnes Wallis for his research into tailless variable-sweep aircraft incorporating a radical new control system capable of high-speed, long-range performance. After several years of tests and crashes the project was terminated in 1954 by which time Vickers had begun studies on a successor to the Valiant V-bomber. For this new project Wallis evolved his Wild Goose design into the Swallow.
