Always liked the Blackburn B.20. It was an innovative design that actually succeeded in solving the challenges presented by traditional flying boats. 'Tis a shame it was a developmental dead-end and, even more so, that the only prototype crashed, taking most of the crew with it.
This video provides some useful insights and has a few pics of the beast in flight.

That's a new type for my eyes, almost looks like a warren truss system of interplane struts. Interesting.
Nice shots!

with the engine just overhead!
It appears to be a four engine craft with no bailout chance.

It is a civil aircraft so bailout was not normally an option anyway.
It appears to be a mail plane given there is no passenger accomodation.

Indeed it was a mail plane. 4 engines and 4 crew. It was actually Blériot Aéronautique's last design. In 1936, the order was cancelled forcing the company into bankruptcy.
