The ugly sister to the Beverely's Cinderella.  A 4 engined transport with fixed undercarriage converted into the Antisubmarine role and armed with missiles.

Although halfway through the paint applications it does have a certain elegance in the same way that a whale does.

Christ Almighty!  It'd be like being attacked by a cliff face! :o

Seriously, that is some brilliant work so far :thumbsup:

Thanks  ;D

It's got the  Sterling wing so that should make it fairly manoeuvable. I'm guessing reverse pitching the propellors on the engines on 1 wing for tighter turns is not advisable in flight ? It is probably one of the only transports with nose cannons.

It was partly inspired by the Beverly Interceptor in the Bad Ideas thread.

Funnily enough I was in Brid weekend before last!  I like this, kind of a Beverley on steroids.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Reminds me of Tailspin!  :wub: That is high praise in my book!  :thumbsup:

I can reccommend this book Seelowe Nord where the germans invade Bridie.

I love this.  It's like the Uzi of aircraft: ugly, as you've pointed out, but in the most cool, utilitarian way imaginable!  And refreshingly original.   :thumbsup:

Nice one!  :thumbsup:

I agree! It wouldn't need armament, seeing that thing coming at you would probably terrify you into surrender.

If it's ASW, why does it have an antenna on top?
That being said, I'd like to remind everybody in a manner reminiscent of the SNL bit on Julian Assange, that no matter how I die: It was murder (even if there was a suicide note or a video of me peacefully dying in my sleep); should I be framed for a criminal offense or disappear, you know to blame.

Maybe because the Russian's actually built the flying submarine they were toying with ?  :rolleyes:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
