| Yes Verner. It was an aerodynamic representation of a gun turret. The photo actually shows the P.92/2. THis was a small scale flying testbed for the full size P.92, which was to be a Turret fighter, similar to the Defiant,designed to F.11/37 but in an attempt to minimise drag a special turret was designed that was almost flat and this was built to test the theory. The turret was also intended to be used of RAF heavy bombers (a version of the of the Avro Manchester being schemed with one above AND below the centre fuselage) and unlike other turrets, it was to carry 4 20mm cannon. The P.92/2 demonstrator was actuyally built by another company, Heston, and they called it the JA.8.
