Bearstool Br.660 Bellerophon
Designed as part of the next generation of heavy bombers following the introduction of jet engines in military aircraft, the Bellerophon quickly made a name for itself as a capable platform for the ‘Red steel’ cruise missile, as well as performing daring low level attacks utilising dumb bombs

Notes
She’s a big girl so don’t expect to be pulling aerobatics in her
The ‘dumb bombs’ are most effective at low altitude and fall roughly in line with bombardiers window
In the event of ditching, the nose is likely to sink first so make your way to the aft escape door in the crew rest area
