Yes it is indeed a Folkerts SK-2

I hate to admit my total failure here  ;), so I guess that Mike is the next victim to produce a new oddity. That calculation is of course unbeatable (obviously not even Google Translate (ha!) can handle it).

Actually P51 was the first to mention the SK2, so maybe it really is his turn again  8)

Lame, don't be blind, it was a quest by P51. He can't be the winner. You were very close, and provided simple mathematic calculations do not count (F-35 / anything = anything2), you won. Let James teach a lesson  ]thumbsup[ He deserves.

Right so James 8)
I've pulled your leg with my previous reply.
SK-2⅞ of course was just bullshit and referred to your comment that the nose of the quest plane is shorter than the one of an SK-3. Short->Lower Number->SK-3->SK-2⅞. Bullshit.

And this one...
\( \huge{SK-(2+{{\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty{1\over{n!}}}\over{e}})} \)
...is just a little math around Euler's Number e.
e is defined as the as the sum of the infinite series...
\( \huge{e = \sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty{1\over{n!}}} \)
...and can as well be written in a couple of other ways, but given the equation shown above, my formula boils down to...

\( \huge{SK - ( 2 + {e \over e} )} \)
...which is...

\( \huge{SK - ( 2 + 1 ) = SK-3} \)
...and that's just the wrong answer to your quest as you've pointed out before.

Cheers!
Mike

Right, Lame is next and I'll stop teaching you Math.
How about a little Physics?

Cheers!

All right - there is nothing like a little confusion, is there!  ;D
Mike actually being 1/8 (of whatever) closer than me.

(@Sniper - no I'm not blind, but P51 was in fact the very first to name the SK-2!)(Just being a literal nitpicker here)

Right - try this one:

Fairey Battle at first sight.
This special one is the Battle IIT turret trainer, equipped with a Wright Cyclone R-1820-G3B radial engine, which got converted to this state in Canada after having been built initially as Fairey Battle T trainer in the UK.

Some more images of this bird:
