The Darlington one is apparently a 23cm frame. Bit small for me!

I do like the Carlton! Too small for me and I really don't need a project but if I had the time, space and 'reason' that's the sort of thing which would be far too tempting to ignore...

The Centurion is also a (small but) nice thing. It has a San Marco 'Rolls' which looks to be in very good condition. For the recent re-build of my mid-'70s Shotrter I wanted to fit a similar saddle but in white; I found a very nice one on the www but it cost more than the asking price for this whole bike!

I think you are spot on. It looks very like Viscount Aerospace (either 'Sport' or 'Pro'). There's the edge of a transfer visible centrally on the seat tube between the upper and lower bands which could well be the side of the shield which those bikes had / have.

Here's a link to a short video-clip which shows a 'Sport';

Back in the late '70s one of the boys in my local branch of the C.T.C. had one and he really liked the ride it gave.

They do ride well especially with the original forks , both myself and my father rode them in my youth IE 50 years ago
