Ugly duckling

My ugly duckling...Avro Bison

[inkworm]

I told Gamery we built the worst looking stuff ever to fly but he doesn't listen! Wonderful, so ugly it shouldn't have even been allowed on the drawing board let alone off it.


Any chance of some detail of the Scarff ring please?

I love it! The name Bison seems to have been well deserved BTW!

Nothing special. It is very simplified and schematic.

If it looks right it'll fly right.

Did this thing ever leave the ground?

Nice job of an unusual and unfamiliar (to me) type.

It made it on to the internet now stick a gun on the ring Not sure about the white and black strokes on the ring though.

Great work ... but this ship is so ugly, that it must fly even without engine or wings ... just because it was repeled by Earth

Nice work, I always thought British aircraft were assigned a name by some works department working down a list. But somone obviously looked at this and said " That looks a bit like a Bison to me"
Oh,I see it's a fleet spotter, that explains the looks.

Short's designers got drunk one day and thought they'd base the Seamew on the Bison just for fun.
