09:44, 20 February 2007 (UTC)CastellPark==dispute tag== The de Havilland DH 108 Swallow broke the speed of sound in a shallow dive in 1948. Does this article mean that the Vautour was the first mainland European aircraft to break the speed of sound? If this is so, it needs to be clarified. Emoscopes ^Talk 03:38, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

The above observation is correct. In fact I would imagine several other European aircraft, mainly British would have broken the sound barrier in a shallow dive by 1952. However it might be the case that the Vautour was the first European twin engined aircraft to break the sound barrier. It is certainly wrong to say that the Vautour was the first "European aircarft" to break the sound barrier in a shallow dive. (User:Castell Park/my talk) 9.42 20 February 2007.
