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.

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 :)

Chaps,

We are running afoul of the 24 hour rule and risking the wrath of the Mods.

What's beneath it would be the giveaway! :)

Blackburn B 20 flying boat with retracting hull. OH if correct.

Asturias56 9th Sep 2022 23:22

think you're right

India Four Two 10th Sep 2022 05:43

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.

Beamr 11th Sep 2022 15:27
