I know not too many people will know this but Bn also toyed with a twin engine,low wing,twin boom called the
Sheriff SA1 ts rego was G-FRJB , if you want to look at it the link is http://www.abpic.co.uk/search.php?q=G-FRJB&u=reg.
I think the biggest problem they had was that the Seneca had just been built so the project was kind of ambitious and really never
got started.
Britten Norman (2 blokes) actually contributed a lot for the aviation industry, the Trislander like it or not is a classic really or it will be
when it ceases flying, not that it should've in the first place.
As far as i know it can still be found loitering at EGNX

I remember seeing a 3 view of that - didn't know they actually built it - that was the Britten side of Britten Norman - the Norman side of Britten Norman also made some interesting aircraft that almost made it - the Firecracker, Turbo Firecracker (military trainers), the Fieldmaster (ag plane) and the Freelance (which orginally was the BN-3 Nymph - sort of a 172 look alike).
