If the bomb aimer misses his target, it looks as if he is grilled instantly

[DHumphrey]

That aircraft has one serious landing light or searchlight, not sure which. 

[P51vsFw190]

DH, that would indeed be a landing light. It looks as though it could melt me if I stood too close.

[SAS~Storebror]

Why do you feel the need to do that?

Didn't want to offend you

That's an optical data coupler, one of the secret technologies they developed together with the germans.
It could send information about enemy positions straight to the nazi moon base, or the antarctic one for the same matter.
The prop blades crossing the data beam somewhat limited the available baud rates though, which is why they later used flying saucers for relay stations.

Mike, I don't wish to offend, but I've been known to smoke a bit of weed now and again, I've even progressed to smoking some of those fancy weed oils in the electric cig's … now I'm not quite sure what you've been smoking, but I sure as hell want to try some … LOL !!!! 

[SAS~Storebror]

Seems you got me wrong: This was absolutely serious

Here is a better picture to look at:

The really interesting part about that aircraft, and your second picture shows it quite nicely, are the engines.
These are 18 cylinder W engines, not all too common.

Uuups, I'm very sorry, based on the first pic I thought it was a Ki-1, but now I see it's the Hiro G2H1. Apologies for the wrong close-up picture that may have misguided some of you. 

[P51vsFw190]

Correct Sniperton.

Your turn.

[sniperton]

I like crazy things, but I'm sure it will be quite easy to ID it.

Edit: I can't attach it right now, so I declare it open round.

This one should be quick since it is so distinctive:
