Wow....tks again Mark!!!!!

What's that prototype, Shackleton-like, with a single tail and a bubble canopy? ? ?

This would be a great thread for all postwar captured exhibits in the UK!! Hoping for some in 'colour' too

Thanks!

Since a lot of this is very subjective....

It is one of those obscure prototype that most probably did not go any further because of its sheer ugliness.......

[Chris Brame]

Was it supposed to be landed four-point or five-point?

The front view of the nose is.....cute

It's begging for a mouth paint job, eh? Or maybe a starring role as a Disney Planes character?

[emarkay]

Wow, cool, a plane I never knew about...
Heck with Planes, would be a great plane for a Monty Python's Flying Circus animation!
"Oooh, my brain hurts!..."

Is that a Firebrand with the Spiteful and MB.5?
