| Hey dinos7, great pic of a 190!
OK, no takers on the Zubr, so maybe we could discuss the Fisher P-75. It was conceived as a way to use up spare parts. Outer wings of a P-40, P-40 canopy, Dauntless vertical tail, plus more cannibalization. By the time they made it into a viable aircraft, it was a completely new design.
One last great characteristic of the P-75 ... it was so ugly they'd have to tie a roast beef to it to get a dog to sit nearby. | |

| Toss up between the Armstrong Whitworth Albemarle or the SARO Lerwick. Both a complete waste of money and effort. | |

Country: | The Albermarle wasn't, it became a very useful glider tower but should have been used as a bomber IMO

Country: | it was a bit big for that though, dissapointing performance too, plus the noseweel was a bit too revolutionary for the RAF, and try telling the downed airmen the Lerwick saved that she was a waste of money........
