9th February 2022 RJ Newcastle B.2 8.6
Introduction
Inspired by Small-Brown-Dogs Avro London fictional aircraft see here I decided to make one utilising the Liberator as the donor aircraft. I changed it up in engine layout as i felt 4 nacelles was just too much for the wing area.
Armed with a bunker busting tallboy its a force to be reckoned with.
Main undercarriage has suspension (well at least that worked..) Wing is flat on top so i could camo it, its no fun applying camo to triangles.
Careful with the airspeed, its intentionally easy to loose as this is a heavy 4 engine bomber. Due to the layout it is more manoverable than a standard aircraft but you need to manage the drag on landing to keep the nose up etc. It lands nicely on the rear wheels which suspension compresses untill all 4 are on the deck.
Controls
AG1-4 for engine starts/stops
AG5 for bomb bay and arm weapon
LG for landing gear etc.

Ye, sadly Treadmill jumped off the Warp-train.
So nobody knows where he is (even the lord of change).
@ManManTheWeaponsMan I'd say it looks more like the Handley Page Halifax on the nose
@RamboJutter I was saying the nose looks like the lanc. Sorry
Yup, aside from the fact that the brown pupper guy have literal antigravity systems and energy shields inside his planes (read: standard sparking dieselpunk bull-* [Censored] *), not too much of an issue. Keep up the good work, RJ!

... Also, does anybody know why Treadmill103 fell off the internet?

@ManManTheWeaponsMan nope, no lanc involved.
