Green 23

Green 23 was part of a class of ship regarded as the Ford Transit van of space. Reliable, economic and ubiquitous; these spacecraft were found doing a variety of jobs across the galactic disc. Both cargo and passenger carrying version were built.

 

The ship's semi-annular wing gave good atmospheric performance. Its Whatt & Pritney main engine gave plenty of thrust to boost good loads of cargo into orbit of most major planets.

 

++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

This ship was inspired by a painting by Angus Mckie that I first saw back in the 1980s, in a Terran Trade Authority book in my school library.
