Bristol B.130 Bombay
Designed to a specification calling for a 24-troop personnel transport that could double as a bomber, the Bombay was a high-wing monoplane with a fixed landing gear. Power was provided by two 753kW Bristol Pegasus XXII radial engines mounted on the leading edges of the high monoplane wings. Defensive armament comprised Lewis guns in nose and tail positions. A notable feature was a very strong wing of multi-spar steel strip construction.
