Title: Aviation Whiff Art
Post by: Rheged on November 21, 2014, 03:36:12 AM
I left this lying link  around in" Airliners I'd like to have seen".   I think it really belongs here. A 10 engine Lancaster,  a Supermarine bomber and a Blackburn retractable float fighter amongst other delicacies to investigate.

I'm pretty sure all these were based on genuine plans drawn up.
The Blackburn B-20 flying boat actually got as far as a prototype which flew in March 1940 but crashed just two weeks later.

Some super work there, a pity some of them never made it off the drawing board, my fave for reality would have to be the Blackburn B44, I love that retracting planing hull idea.  :thumbsup:
