Always liked the Hendon, looks so mid 1930's
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That's because it WAS mid-30s!  ;D

Looking at a plan view, the Hendon had HUGE wings!  :o

Something I came up with.


What about moving the bottom wing to the bottom of the fuselage and keep it a biplane

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

One of the layouts to B.19/27, spec. led to the Heyford, was a normal biplane.

You could be checking a LONG time, I've only ever seen one of those kits ever, and one built up too. A pity really as it's a nice looking aircraft.
