    Rex Pierson six-engined design

    From Stephen Flower's 'Barnes Wallis' Bombs, Tallboy, Dambuster and Grand Slam' - Page 20 'Wallis was not the only designer to advocate larger aircraft, for Rex Pierson also proposed a six-engined bomber with a twenty-ton bomb load' Does anyone have any idea what design that would be?

    Avro 720 and derivatives
