I wonder into which direction this one is actually supposed to fly?

I have imagined a full family from it, thanks!

An idea for your next  Aer Lingus Marauder Mk II ?

[Dizzyfugu]

Ah, no that is done - I leave that project to others... 

But there's already another idea in the pipeline for the GB. 

[Dizzyfugu]

Originally not intended as a whif, but its has potential... 

[Captain Canada]

You'd get horrible mileage with all that fur
