Do you have any further information on this design Grampa? | Sorry Grampa, I didn't word that very well. I'm after information, if you have it, on a Sparmann project, that never left the drawing board, but it would have looked similar to a F4U Corsair. There is no name mentioned in the article for this project.
Hi Patoruzu. I found a different artist, but suspect it's a Roussel 30...   |

Country:  | Late update guys, I found the book 
Patoruzu was right, it was the Bristol F.11/37 'small', but no type number is recorded, as the 156 was the Beaufighter and the 155 was the rival to the Albemarle, maybe it was the 154? As the name suggests they also submitted a slightly larger version of the same design to meet the spec.

Country:  | Bottom is the Edgely Optica.
The top one looks suspiciously like what an FW198 was supposed to look like.

Country:  | Used to see the Optica regularly, it looked right somehow, odd, but right. The Hampshire Police crashed the one they trying out just up the road from me. The plane got the blame, but, if I remember rightly the CAA decided it was being flown outside it's envelope.

I remember reading that it had a very troubled financial/business life, including at one point, arson. | |

Country: | Yes thats it Graeme, I wondered if the engines and nose shape might make someone think twice. Taken from the net.
I concur with kk89 on the XP-80, but that is a sneaky edit
