Apparently the dual control trainer version (also known as the Bull) could barely make 100 foot per minute rate of climb on take-off!

I'd suggest an ugliest airplane thread but I think the blackburn wins. That plane is so heinous that I'd be afraid of being banned here if I posted that pic. Is the nose big so the flight engineer can work on the motor in flight?
