Country: | Hmmm, the first thing it brings to mind for me is the North American AJ-1 Savage, but in such poor shape its hard to say (oh, and you have mail if you didn't already see it)
Ha scrub that answer, it suddenly looks like the Vought Pirate instead

I don't actually have a Wamira cartoon handy but this is a sample of what I used to do.... see if anyone can identify the aircraft... it may be just a cartoon but drew if from the actual aircraft and I tried to keep it accurate...
....anyway it should be easier than some of the photos posted here  | |

Country: | Correct Kool Kitty, that particular one is now in the RAN Museum in Nowra NSW... 
This was the follow-on cartoon, an example of a day in the life of the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation in the 1980s | |

Country: | This latest puzzler looks like someone's added a glazed nose and two more engines to a Canberra, then stuck on a Viscount tail, after sticking on the wings of a B24!
Doubt I'd even come close with an answer! | |
