I'm a great believer in 'If it looks right, it'll fly right' and I've always been of the opinion that the Fairey Battle did actually look 'Right'.

Obviously the weight/power ratio and defensive armaments let it down massively but just look at it, it looks like it should have been an incredibly capable aircraft!!!!

So I've seen you guys do this before and I'm sure you can all do it again, do what ever it takes and make this great looking air-frame into a great warplane.
I'm even happy if it means changing roles to the Fleet air arm, theaters etc... but I just think this aircraft deserves better than its poor war history.
