Look at those mounts under the wings. Think of the hardware or extra fuel you could put in those tail "nacelles". @<a href="#comment-174697" rel="nofollow">KommissarKvC</a>: Orly?

The tails are similar. In Tailspin they used a Conwing L-16 seaplane (aka SeaDuck)... I love this design though. I guess I have a thing for certain flavors of ugly planes. I like this, the Seaduck, the Brooklands Aerospace Optica OA-7, the A-10... All ugly, but beautiful planes... @RSIxidor: Lol… The tails are similar.

They US made one back in WW2 that was twin-tail like that, and never again. Leave it to the Britts to come up with something totally weird and half-assed. @KommissarKvC: Yeah.
