Fairey Firefly T.Mk.II

Not exactly but close enough to make it your turn.
Actually it's the prototype Firefly T.1 "MB750".

Best regards - Mike

Thank you Storebror wasn't sure if guns were installed on production T.Mk.Is but it've seen Mk.IIs with them
It's a much bad-looking plane, nevertheless "why not paste two fireflies together?"

so: fortunately i'm in lunch break so i have a contribution!

Again a bit outside my usual turf.
But I have seen this slightly odd looking bird before.

Armstrong-Whitworth Wolf

A reconnaissance aircraft from 1923 which had the tough luck never to be ordered by the RAF

[A1_Phoenix]

And indeed it is, LameHawk!
it got my attention searching on interwar RAF Specifications, and it was strange enough to try. Of course, the shape is also strange enough to not be unseen, as in your case

yoooour turn!

(also, i'm about to buy a graphic card to repair my PC: it's difficult to find the right quiz without blanking down serials and roundels heheheh)

[LameHawk]

I agree with you that it is absolutely necessary to hide serials and markings, but in this case I had just seen the plane before, not having to resort to the serial. I use a GTX 660 which may not be a Rolls Royce, but I have not run into its limits yet.

Anyway here is another slightly odd plane:

[A1_Phoenix]

too bad i always had a soft spot for fuselage propellors, as in this Gallaudet D-4

[LameHawk]

Yes it is. I just love that propeller in the middle of everything.

Your turn

[A1_Phoenix]

Thank you LH 

i've found a raw method to conceal markings. it's not nice, but effective, in the meantime hehehe

It looks like a fuselage of an Albatros D.6 would have put the wings and tail of a Fokker D.6 ...
But the bottom is not Europe ... at least not in that period.

The closest I found was the Waco Nine ... but it's not even close.

[SAS~Storebror]

After having googled for it (successfully), I can assure you that without google this is impossible to solve.
The plane isn't a genuine construction, it's a mod.
It has been built only once.
And this is the only image of it.
Only little is known about this plane at all.

Best regards - Mike

Doing the same search mike found the same only source and only photo ... (26)

[A1_Phoenix]

well, it seems Mike got the.. specimen? i must honestly say i posted the image "quick and dirty" without knowing it was the only one, of the ONLY ONE Rogers Monoplane from 1922. But it was still an interesting one, a (most probably) modded D.VII with Curtiss engine, monoplane, and over a typical USA background.

Of course that will teach me to.. uhm.. research a researchable (!) entry, i'm sorry for the unusual round, i hope it's legit.

Mike, your turn
