A couple of the long nose variant (bet taxying was a fun thing to do with no forward visibility !).

I believe that there are plans afoot at the moment to get a long nosed FW in the air using a V12 Alison and a much modified propellor reduction gearbox to sort out the CofG issue and provide the correct length of 'bonnet'. I'll see if I can dig out the article and confirm choice of engine. later on this week.
