For those who have had first hand experience with the Battle will know this is a solidly heavy machine grossly underpowered 1930s design, like it has massive undercarriage!! I have heard on occasion fron the odd vet who flew them should have been designed for 2 engines? Fairey had a reputation for building large single engine airplanes and culminated in the Griffon powered Firefly, now if the Battle had a Griffon well that would have been impressive!
