    Oh well, that was my best guess. I will go to bed now and get my beauty sleep.
    Skunk will have to come up with the answer. :p

    That was my first guess as well Mr. 152, but too many wing struts & alerion extras (Fokker DVII) missing.
    Good one Za, I give. How-a-bout a hint ? French (or in French use) we know. I've not seen the like.

    Ok, I'll relent. It's Brit, and it might have come out of Skunkworks :D

    The French version of the Ju-87, in a twisted kind of way.

    Loire-Nieuport 41 dive bomber.

    This beauty had some advanced features on it, a 37mm cannon, an enclosed cockpit that was heated, crew of 4, a stunning rate of climb of 10,000 feet in one hour :eek:

    It was built as an anti-Zeppelin fighter. Only one was built for the Royal Flying Corps.

    Can you just think what went thru the crews minds when they were told to go fly this sleek beauty !

    Nice one!
    You'd expect that thing to have multiple, match lit, muzzle loading "pivot" guns ....
    Like the Pirate ship she be ... Arrrg!

    I like the Da Vinci tank turret on stilts too !

    I guess only one was made because a Zepplin had a faster top speed. :eek:

    Over to you ZA!

    I can't figure out if it is a bomber or transport or what. I want to say it is a Farman of some type but I can't find a picture so far. It has lots of wrinkles, maybe if they ironed it ?
