Sorry that's not me either. Little more to give away except I'm sometimes hyphenated and I'm a lightweight fighter. - Must be my clues.
The MAQWNP stall warning system has now been activated. If no correct solution by12.00 Z. The answer will apppear and any non-incapacitated crew member may take control.

Yes. - I didn't think it was that difficult or esoteric and they were a an interesting series of designs. The 257 I am.

Best looking Skoda ever? The parasol-wing fighter (D.1 was it, derived from a Dewoitine?) was also a handsome machine.
Quite unprepared for another try, but here goes:

Short Sperrin?
Sawn-off as in 'short'; 4 x RR Avon engines with each pair in an 'over and under' double-barrelled shotgun layout on each wing.
