1933 proposal for a twin engined Battle

The engines were supposed to be either Merlin I’s or Fairey’s own P.12’s, any suggestion as to the performance of such an aircraft.

There was also apparently a cannon fighter proposal but no information on the dimensions.

How very British to design it with two hoods 😀

Twin hoods were use don the Vickers Wellesley and later on, on around 100 two seat dual control Battles.

The cannonfighter looks fine, although cannons were unfortunatly absent from the actual Battle. The twin might have been something in the early 30’s, but during the war, there was only one use for a twin Merlin configuration – Mosquito!
