What about the Blackburn Botha?

Hi all,

As you probably know by now, I am very interested in the not so wellknown RAF-types of WWII (the wellknown ones too of course).

There was this Blackburn Botha for instance, a twin engined torpedo-bomber that wasn't used operationally and not very well liked by its crews but it was there anyway. Not a single aircraft has survived, but I have seen photographs of large sections of wings lying in remote places in Britain.

Surely that would be a good starting point for a reconstruction similar to the Albacore, Barracuda etc.

What do you think?
