"Lewis gun blazing, flour bags cascading down, the pachydermic Gallipoli terrorized practice target ranges across the empire from 1933 to 1939. Four Varley "Panjandrum" motors screwed her up to a cruising altitude several feet over the legal minimum of the day. Relatively few were built, but more than enough Gallipolis were delivered to the R.A.F., which handed them over to the Royal Indian Air Force, which handed them over to the Royal Malayan Air Force, which promptly found itself plagued by wholesale desertions of its flying personnel."
Thought this would be an interesting plane to make just to see if it would work! It just about takes off on the longest runways and is painfully slow, but it's just a ridiculous thing to see flying.
If anyone can get me some RAF insignia to put on it I'd appreciate it.

@Liquidfox nice, what kinda bomb load can it carry? Feel free to upload it to the site man
@Kimo @salisbey That's the point of it, early British planes were plagued with lack of power do the joke is that it can barely get off the ground. Not to mention some of them were a bit weird looking!
I agree looks very cool. But a slugish beast for sure.
Silly brits planes aren't supposed to look like cleavers
Very cool look, but barely flying. Needs more power I guess.
