Whew, that one's an oddball. It looks like someone strapped a set of wings to their piano. Never heard of it, either...but thanks for the HU, Andy!

certainly not one I'm familar with

Thanks Andy

Ugly??? You do Major F A Bumpus a great dis-service To think these were still in service until 1941! Shame it's not an FSX model though.

According to the README, it's for both FS9 and FSX.

By Fleet Air Arm standards, it's far from ugly, while several Blackburn aircraft looked far uglier - if you're not of a nervous disposition. see Blackburn's Triplane, Sidecar, and Blackburn (so ugly they named it twice?) at http://www.aviastar.org/air/england/a_blackburn.php

Hi John

Apologies - I've now corrected both typos in it and it works, but don't say you weren't warned.

Looking at the Sidecar, I suspect that Major Bumpus (what a lovely name for a character in a 19th-century novel) was an exponent of origami.

I love how the "Blackburn Second Monoplane" came a year before the "Blackburn First Monoplane".
