Flying jack fruit, do you need one?

Do we need this thing? It was supposed to fly at 36 knots shadowing German submarines. It carried no weapon. Its task was to call on destroyers and keep an eye on the submarine. I think a possible development could carry some bombs and weapons... I take off and landed easily at the Enterprise with a full load, but didn't try to fly 12 hours around the convoy how it was supposed to do.


Flying jack fruit is the exact translation of the Portuguese expression "jaca voadora" (http://www.virtualherbarium.org/tropicalfruit/jackfruit_how-to-use.html). Is how we call something that flies against all evidences like the fabulous Blackburn Botha and this think that no one could love, not even the mother of the engineer who committed this aeronautical atrocity!
