You need lobster claws to excavate the butter mines! Lobster and butter... tasty!

back to aircraft hybrids :

That's a very nice fit and a striking look. Beautiful!!

Frank3k · « **Reply #2060 on:** July 02, 2020, 04:31:30 AM »

Very nice! It reminds me of a Fairey Hendon

Now THAT, is rather GOOD . . .

cheers,

Such a fine fuselage-wing match up.

Another one I would like to build as early 30s USAAF.

With those spats it belongs in the BdB group build!
Maybe someone could write a story to go with it with a part explaining why it’s blue?
Great job and a combo that’s a natural!

Easy . . .

"In the mid 1920s, Vickers signed an agreement with the French firm Wibault, allowing Vickers to use Wibault's metal aircraft assembly techniques.
Not wishing to be left behind, Handley-Page eventually negotiated a similar deal with Junkers, one of the results of this deal being a test aircraft, consisting of a Heyford fuselage, married to Junkers Ju52 wings and undercarriage. As this aircraft was privately funded by the Handley-Page company, the decision was taken not to paint it in Service colours, but instead a rather fetching shade of blue.
Tests with this aircraft proved remarkably successful, so much so that a production version entered service as the Handley-Page Hemel (Hempstead) . . ."

cheers,
Robin.

that story sounds quite natural too

apophenia · « **Reply #2067 on:** July 03, 2020, 09:48:48 AM »

Great stuff! And such a natural-looking combo

Its easy to envision a shortened Heyford fuselage mated to Ju 86 wings too!

I like it

I can see it as a fast medevac aircraft with a swing-tail

I agree. That concept would make a lot of sense.

ericr · « **Reply #2072 on:** July 05, 2020, 05:42:37 PM »

the back doors are below the tail, so could be used as such

Kerick · « **Reply #2073 on:** July 06, 2020, 12:49:54 AM »

Makes me think of those flying family cars from the 50’s!

ericr · « **Reply #2074 on:** July 07, 2020, 03:29:09 AM »

the rest of the BO105 was used on a piggy-bank
