Yup, I saw one of those going down an aisle at the Sainsburys in Warlingham...
Apache meets Optica meets Flymo... never heard of the project before.

The Avro Nightmare? 
OK
I give in!
Didn't even last two hours!
How the **** do you do it with such ease?
Who's ever heard of that sorry damn thing or anything like it anyway?
I suppose you're going to wipe me out on the Cockpit page too?
I'm in awe, but anyhoo you're in control! Again!
This challenge is like the Human Race vs Godzilla

Well that didn't last long! The Blackburn B20. An aircraft I had never heard about until I stumbled upon a picture of it. A fascinating concept that might have gone further if the prototype had not been lost. Interesting that it had the infamous Vulture engines.

Haraka obviously knew, but oxenos identified it and has declared Open House
