Country:  | Patoruzu, that ones being doing my head in all day. Its one of those that I know that I've seen it before, but can remember nothing about it, very infuriating. So far I've gone through the Janes from 1941, 45 and 49 with no luck. Any clues?

Country:  | And we have a new candidate for the "ugliest aircraft poll".  Almost beats these 1930's french bomber-fighter-recon-"multiplace de combat".

Thtas as Emilio says a Bristol Type 146
G3283. This was to be an eight gun fighter to specification F.5/34 T a price of Ģ11, 500 (THE PRICE OF A FAMILY CAR IN 2004). It embodied many of the features of the crashed T133. The engine chosen was the fully supercharged Perseus sleeve-valve radial of 835 hp. The prototype however, was fitted with a Mercury IX. Retractable undercarriage and four Browning per wing firing outboard of the propellor.
However, the RR Merlin engined Hurricanes and Spitfires became priorities and although it performed well was also not proceeded with. In 1938, following trials, it returned to Filton for the RAF display only to collide with part of the set piece and was forthwith scrapped. The Transport Archive- Three Centuries of Transport | |

| Blackburn Firebrand
Well its the Blackburn Firebrand. Blackburn Firebrand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
But the thing here thats nagging me is what exackly type of Blackburn it is. Its definitivt not the III version because that one is build whit an bubble canopy, and the one at pichture dosent have it, so ether is the I version or the II.  | |
