Thanks, fuel tank the clincher. Once served on a squadron which not really many years previously had operated Vincents. Fewer years ago I saw the efforts at restoring a Vincebeest in a hangar at Wigram.
Regret waiting for wheels to an incarceration which for some time will restrict my recreational activity, so OH I fear.

You normally only serve a third of the sentence Jenkins ................ we'll come and visit you...............
Some sort of dive bomber? Looks like the type of thing you saw on various ghastly naval types just before the start of WW2.................
Bomb/rocket `crutches` on the `Scruggs Wonderplane`...?

I believe Chief Designer on the Scruggs Wonderplane project was none other than Roger Bacon...

The struts remind me of the DH-9, but cockpit proximity probably mean the DH-4.

"The US Mk5 bomb rack could carry 10 Mk II or II-A (22 lb; the II is high explosive and II-A is fragmentation)."
