Blackburn B-48 'Firecrest'?

Hi

Does anyone have any pictures of the Blackburn B-48 (or YA-1) built in
1948ish? There were only two made before the project was cancelled....

TIA

Thanks! VF172, the MkII 'go-faster' version! (it has less dihedral on
the outer wing panels.)

Try this. It is from Wikipedia.

Thanks! I've not seen that one before. I am really after actual photos
though, I have been planning a flying model of this aircraft for some
20 years and it's the detail that's elusive.
I did have the opportunity to look over the surviving works drawings a
long time ago, some of which I managed to photograph, but drawings
only give you the size of the parts!

Let me go off on an OT tangent, if I may (and if I may not, ignore me, or
point me to group where that stuff is on-topic, please):

In a lot of in-flight pictures of prop planes, the props are slightly bent
backwards at the tips. Why is that? Since the prop is pulling the plane, I
would expect the thing to bend forward, if anything.

Michael - my thought is that it is caused by the camera - perhaps shutter
speed or other issues. Here is an image of the same plane or type showing
the opposite, with the prop tips swept forward, for what it is worth.

Nice to see both those pictures on ther 'net. I have them both
already, though. RT651 is the version I'm trying to model.
