The part I added was not a joke. This airplane was equipped with a retractable mast and sails. The following video has pictures of the mast and sails deployed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXQaKDs6OUs http://www.aviastar.org/air/england/beardmore_inverness.php http://www.aviastar.org/air/england/beardmore_inflexible.php "A related design was the Beardmore Inverness, an all-metal flying boat whose creators had such faith in its airworthiness that it was equipped with two large masts and sails to get it home in the event of a forced water landing.
