That's the same airplane? Are you sure?? The one up top has retractable gear and the wingbox is lower, right?

I found this as being the same plane. The lower one has a (very oldfashion) retractable gear. It is a sort of prototype and in the first picture they were rebuilding it, so the gear and probably the spinner changed. I don't think the re is difference in the wingbox, though

I don't know what it is, but she's worthy of a place in the ugliest plane thread
