Country:  | TO, I reckon you'd have to be a suicidial maniac to fly the "Gallipoli" if it had ever existed at all, and even more so for the even weirder "Shirley".

Country: | Sys, I believe they're made up, just from the names. "Hundley-Pudge" ?? I've been to that website before and they're alittle tongue in cheek.

Country:  | Although 'modern' (1996), Russia's Aeroprogress T-752 Shtyk would fit easily into Very Weird Aircraft.
It was intended to be an all-weather, day/night, wing-in-ground-effect strike aircraft, for use in local conflicts, and anti-helicopter/light aircraft.
Remained a project.  | |

| Yeah, after reading it more closely, I think youre right.
Heres one Soren probably would enjoy..."DINKEL GX "KLEINEFEUERWERKSWAFFE"
".....Few Dinkels saw active service, but in the last great sentimental gesture of the Hitler era, Reiehsmarshal Hermann Goering had four such craft assembled, ordered them fueled with fireworks, and then, as his Führer watched, had the Dinkels fly overhead skywriting a multicolored swastika in the night sky. Alas, the swastika proved a skywriter's Götterdämmerung when all four planes collided at the axis. The Führer was nonetheless said to be delighted at the show...."

Country:  | Some weird things indeed...as for "Shirley"...common I understand to blow yourself up with a real plane filled with explosives...but to pedal to deliver a "deadly" mad dog on american ship...thats just plain stupid...

Remained a project. | Wow Graeme, that's really interesting.
What were those 'things' on the lower side meant for? They almost look like floaters.

Kris | Absolutely no idea Kris! But the undercarriage reminds me of the Kalinin K-7, which incidentally would fit fine in the imaginary planes above, if it wasn't for the fact that it was actually built! 
I think the designers at Aeroprogress in the mid nineties were on drugs.   | |

Country: | If it wasn't too expensive it could very well make a good COIN-aircraft 
And it's a beauty!

Country:  | Of course none of them ever existed. They are from National Lampoon about 30 years ago. | |

Country: | I have seen a photo where the Army put the nose section of a B17 onto a
B24 in attempts to give to crew more room. The plane was flown but not very stable. It is strange looking.
