date=7 Dec 1951] A prototype of the P.1040 Sea Hawk, fitted with a Rolls-Royce Nene turbojet of 5,200 lbf thrust, had an additional rocket of 2,000 lbf thrust added. The combination was termed the Hawker P.1072. It was first used in flight on 20 November, 1950. Half a dozen flights were made using the rocket motor before a minor explosion damaged the aircraft. it was decided that reheat was a more practical proposition for boosting jet thrust than rockets.
