FS2004 Vickers Type 151 Jockey. The Vickers Type 151 Jockey was an experimental low wing monoplane interceptor fighter powered by a radial engine. Only one was built, and this was lost before its development was complete, but the knowledge gained enabled Vickers to produce the more refined Venom. In the late 1920s the idea of the interceptor fighter was forming. To deal with the faster and higher flying bombers, fighters had both to be fast at height and quick to get there. The Air Ministry was keen to determine the best aircraft configuration and sought, under Air Ministry specification F.20/27, manufacturers to build biplanes and both low and high wing monoplanes. Vickers were asked for a prototype low wing fighter, and this became, somewhat unofficially, called the "Jockey", or sometimes the Jockey I. This name covered both Vickers Types 151 and 171; the Jockey II was an early name for the later Venom.
