Nice not many photos of those from the other side about.

A plane, like many, was ahead of its time and doomed to a minor role because of poor engine design and perfomance.

It is a great what-if question to ask if you put a brace of downsized Rolls-Royce Wellands on it with tricycle landing gear, what would of been the outcome.
