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

    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?
