Tarrant Tabor
a british design for a triplane bomber towards the end of WW1 it was designed and produced by W.G. Tarrant who was a property contractor, he hired Walter Barling from the Royal Aircraft Factory, the Tabor was imagined as a biplane powered by 4 600hp Siddely Tigers, but the engines weren't ready and instead 6 450hp Napier Lions were chosen and the 3rd wing was added to the design, designed orignally as a bomber the end of the First World War halted development but it was instead repurposed as a Commercial aircraft, on it's first and only flight the Tabor nosed over as soon as the top 2 engines were ignited and injured everyone aboard, after the crash the Tabor was never worked on again was scrapped (it's very sluggish and hard manuevers will most likely stall the aircraft so be gentle)
