Yes boys it is the ...

Anadwa VKh

The construction of the Anadwa VKh used two Anatra D fuselages, joined by a new wing that was still using elements of the Anade wing. The left fuselage was occupied by the pilot, and the right by an observer. The aircraft's gunner was located in a nacelle attached to the center of the upper wing providing an excellent defence capability. Early models were powered by a pair of 100hp Gnome-Monosoupape engines. Test flights started on July 9, 1916. The tests results were very favorable, but aircraft did not go into production. The reason for this might have been due to its weird design.

However I'm not so sure that the photo you posted is the ame machine? It looks bigger. Any way Noyade YOUR CONTROL ..... BUGGER!!!! I thought it was a sure thing for a long challenge! A curious machine !

Nice to see you back Graeme!!!!!!!!!!
