At the end of World War I, Walter Barling of the Royal Aircraft Factory, in cooperation with W.G. Warrant Ltd., designed a huge bomber for the planned raids on Berlin. W.G Tarrant Ltd, based in Byfleet, Surrey, mainly supplied parts to aircraft factories at this time, and held patents for the lattice wooden wing and fuselage frames. The Tarrant Tabor, as the new bomber was named, was designed as a biplane powered by four Siddeley Deasy Tiger engines. However, these were unavailable, so the design was modified for six Napier Lion engines and a third wing was added on this occasion. As the former upper, now middle wing retained its original dimensions, it still had the largest span. The four engines were mounted on struts between the lower and middle wings, in a tandem arrangement. Directly on top of these, between the middle and upper wings, were the remaining two traction engines. The Tabors were to take off from England and were to be capable of delivering 700 kg of bombs over Berlin at a maximum speed of 170 km/h.

The Tabor was so expansive that final construction had to be done at the balloon hangar at Farnborough. It was ready for its first flight on 26 May 1919. In the meantime it had been independently examined by the RAE and the National Physical Laboratory. According to the RAE, it was tail-heavy, and the report recommended adding 450 kg of weight to the nose. However, Warrant's representatives disagreed, and it is not certain whether the crew knew about the latest modifications before the first take-off. The pilots were Captains F. G. Dunn and P. T. Rawlings. After a lengthy start-up of all six engines, the aircraft was set in motion, and after the tail was off the ground the pilot presumably added throttle to the top pair of engines. The result was that the engines, positioned too high above the aircraft's centerline, in conjunction with the added ballast in the nose, tipped it forward and the machine dug its nose into the flight path, killing both pilots.

The Tabor was never repaired, but Walter Barling later followed it up in America, where he designed the Witteman-Lewis XNBL-1 Barling Bomber night long-range bomber.
