The Only Answer is a seatpost with unusual amounts of setback. Back when I tried a Flyer, I used a seatpost with a pronounced "S" curve; a quick Google (v, intr) didn't find it. But I daresay there are other possibilities.
Brooks saddles don't have as much rearward adjustability as more modern designs. I take it that this is because they were designed back when sub 70* seat tube angles were common. Another good solution is a frame with a 71* seat tube angle -- the Sam HIll has this, IIRC.
