O.K., try this one:

The prototype was built and flight tested.

Can't be a 737 Max, the access panels are all still in place. Try again?

If not 737 Max, then, it is a F-35.

Typically, Douglas cabin, triple fin – it can be only the DC-4E.  :)

Coincidentally, I have the Naval Institute Press's book on Miles next to me and I can confidently say that this is a Miles M.2D Hawk three-seater powered by a ADC Cirrus IIIA producing 95hp.

You know they only made six to special order?

Your answer is correct and very comprehensive, yes, it is the Miles M2D Hawk.
My source is Brown, D. L. (1970). Miles aircraft since 1925. London: Putnam.
The story of the Miles aircraft company is very romantic and I like the light aircraft of the pre-war period. This one is particularly interesting as a three-seater. I am very happy that someone else is reading about the same topic quite by chance.
And yes, I know there were only five (your source mentions six?) made in total  :)
Now is your turn...

Sorry for the extended delay, gentlemen. Real life reared its wicked and ugly head and I had to attend to that.

Now, for the reason we all come here,

Guess this:



Good luck, although I’m sure none of you will need it since it’s a pretty simple one.


Sincerely,

PZL P.1

On a hunch I checked a PZL fighter aircraft list, and found the exact picture you used too.
