Introduction
Its 1945, the Meteor and Vampire have just come into service and the need for a jet aircraft to serve in the Japanese war was required, lack of airfields lead to the requirement being for a number of sea planes to be "escorted" by a dedicated tender for pilot accomodation, refueling, rearming and towing of said aircraft. The seaplane and jet engines require certain things, mainly that the intake doesnt ingest volumes of nasty salt water hence this design has the intake located above the fuselage and further protected by the wing positioning.

I love this plane so much
Ight ima bail out gets sucked @ThomasRoderick
@ThomasRoderick well I modelled a martin baker seat but didn't add the functionality as I ran out of patience with the build... but yes it should bang out up and out of the way of the intake/fin.
Does this plane have an ejection seat? At least I hope so...
