The U/C legs are from the fuselage.

Also from the wheels.

Hmm, this is a very long shot in the dark, and is really only cos I feel guilty about screwing up earlier, but it reminds me in severel respects of the prototype Vickers G.4/31 monoplane that became the Wellesley.

But in many others it absolutely doesn't

Ok guys, now we know how Noyade is aroused..........blimey, does he ever have a problem.........

However, his social/sexual orientation has nothing to do with the rest of us, but the fact that he now has control does.

Hi Martin.
Not the Barracuda, in fact I don't think it was ever fitted with a bomb-bay? I could be wrong.

You're right mate... and I'm not!!!!! Despite the sling is this machine not actually a dive bomber? I can't think of any dive bombers with a bomb bay and I'm way from my books to check things...... M

It was designed as a dive-bomber but when introduced the concept was out of vogue.

I'm way from my books to check things
Makes it hard and I feel your pain, but I'm here to help and will answer all your questions truthfully and concisely! I'm sure you've seen this aircraft thousands of times.

Yes! It was American, but they made little use of it.
