As this already flew while the dora was not even wearing diapers by then, i must conclude the Dora is based on this.

The aircraft shown in the first post is absolutely fuctional in its designed purpose.  It is a trainer for Lancaster tail gunners.

The 2nd post is simply an unmodified Lysander.

Hello Karnak, Actually that Lysander mod, was not for training. It was actually an experimantal (obviously) idea for rakeing the beaches in case of a German invasion. Everything I have read suggests the plane flew wonderfully. Just in case anyone cared. I will try to find my reference to it.
Thanks, Chris

I recommend 'British Prototype Aircraft' by Ray Sturtivant. ISBN 1-85648221-9

Lots of weirdness in there and I happen to think the Miles Libellula is beautiful  :D
