mmm, they didn't make a twin engined B-29 alike... C-54(? ..C-46 I mean) Curtis/Wright Commando transport ?
...looks like it has a cooling fan (either geared or fixed) behind the prop, hence why B29 thoughts of engine and Hamilton Hyrostatic(?) Hub.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Can't wait for this one to be revealed!

 

[Graeme]

Not Japanese Gary.
Yep, it is from the USA Dave.

What the heck is this?

Probably this Jim...?

Convair 580 NC-131H

At first I didn't think so, as a lot of the standard images of the Convair conversion show the cockpit with a more pronounced "bubble", but then I read this...

the nose configuration and canopy has been changed a few times while a number of development companies and organizations have made use of it,

 

[Capt. Vick]

You are...CORRECT...sir!

 

[Graeme]

Thanks Jim.

I'll try another nose...

 

[Capt. Vick]

It's not that Douglas-Piaggio biz jet is it?

 

[Airframes]

Who nose ?
I've got me coat ..............

 

[Capt. Vick]

 

[Graeme]

It's not that Douglas-Piaggio biz jet is it?

Not the PD-808, but it is from a nation somewhere close by. Like your Convair, this is not how the nose normally looks. This is a one-off that failed to attract customers...

 

[Capt. Vick]

Oh is it the Paris biz jet that was based on that French trainer with the V tail?
