Only a guess but it probably had split flaps which would not be visible in the 3 view.

Surprised that such an advanced machine would not have flaps.

"... wonder why it didn't catch on?"

In 1930 the designer of this aircraft, Sir Henry Seagrave, was killed while attempting to set a new water speed record. Since the plane was really his project, interest in it soon petered out.

Looks like a forerunner of the "Faithful Annie", the Avro Anson. Looks like a nice clean design for the time... wonder why it didn't catch on?
