I'll try with another rare bird :

[Gaston]

Like his look of a mini-Corsair... more than 66 built...

[Cafs]

Yeah, she looks like a hybrid Brewster Buffalo with C-V. Corsair, but she isn't a Corsair sub-type. 

More than 140 built and saw combat on WW2. ( not just training duties, real combat).

I seem to have stalled this with my unseemly interruption.

The left bomb rack cannot be identified unless we see it in full.
The lower one is a bit hard to guess since the picture allows no conclusion on the dimensions.

It's not aerodynamically shaped or covered in any way which means that it's not one of the standard "ETC" bomb racks used by the Luftwaffe on "outer" bomb pylons.
If it was an inner bomb rack, it would have had to be one of a Do-17 since the He-111 had the bombs mounted vertically in the inner racks, at least at the time of BoB.
The Do-17 bomb racks however looked much different to the lower one in the picture.

This bomb rack rather looks like a "field improvisation" mounting.
My bet is that it's a cluster bomb rack wing mount of a Ju-87B, something similar to the BdC10 racks (5x SC 10 or 5x SD 10A per cluster) like depicted here:

Stainless got it, the Vultee P-66 Vanguard :      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vultee_P-66_Vanguard

Looks like we stalled again.
Did we have this one already?
If not, which plane is it:


Best regards - Mike

[Cafs]

A pusher-type kite, with a right undercarriage "flat tyre".   

[SAS~Storebror]

Apparently right but I'm not sure whether this qualifies for the answer 

[sniperton]

The general plane design scheme reminds me of the Fokker D.XXIII, but this plane is smaller and lacks the forward engine.
The two-blade prop and the fixed landing gear, together with the engine cowling (hiding a Bristol Pegasus perhaps?), hint at the early 30s.
I have not the faintest idea what it could be, but possibly a study aircraft never going into serial production in the form as we see it here.
Don't torture me, please, reveal the truth 

Edit: Skoda-Kauba V6?

[Cafs]

It looks like an experimental/'proof-of-concept' of a Saab 21 or a dutch de Schelde S.21 planes.

What a coincidence, different builders but the same serial number.
