Introduction

With the success of the SeaDestroyer B1 medium seaplane bomber, RJ was contracted to further develop the design into a heavy seaplane bomber. The basic shape of the B1 was kept but made significantly larger, larger engines where fitted along with 2 additional to make a 6 engined aircraft. Wing shape was altered to more closely resemble the shape that was so well know on the Handley Page Victor and the bomb bay was significantly enlarged to allow the carrying of traditional dumb bombs, anti-ground missiles or nuclear ordinance. Numerous other advancements where added as would be expected of a developed aircraft.

Notes

I have always been fascinated by aircraft like the saunders roe A/1 and the Martin SeaMaster along with the fantastic cold war british aircraft like the victor and vulcan, this design encorporates lots of bits of each of those aircraft, for instance you may recognise the airbrake, external fuel tanks and wing from the victor, the rough cockpit layout of a vulcan etc. Anyway a 6 engine heavy bomber with 10 AGM's held in an internal bay alone is a potent weapon that could have happened (look at the Seamaster, it so nearly entered service in its intended role.)
