Didnt think this would be a problem. This particular aircraft built mid 40s did not go into production.

Mel,

Couldn't resist a quick shot before heading for bed - distreesingly early call in the am.

How about the Gloster E39?

Sorry for the delay. Not the Gloster E39. This one was not from the UK.

It's got an instrument panel that would embarass a Link Trainer.

Glider?

Without giving too much away the answer to that question is yes and no.

Sorry, Not the Fieseler Fi 103R.

Philthy

Not a Me 163A but you are close, as this aircraft was derived from the Me 163.

Mel.

Sorry Speedpig but I am afraid it is not. This aircraft was not built by the aircraft's OEM.

Not the Junkers JU248, which was the Me163D taken over by Junkers who completed the work under Prof H.Hertal and redesignated as the JU248. The aircraft in question was built by a completely different manufacturer.

The cockpit structure is reminiscent of the 163 but the instrument panel is totally different. Might it be the Lippisch P13 (DM1)?

Not the Lippisch P13 (DM1). The aircraft in question did have connections with the 163 but was not built in Germany.

You are in the right area, but this bird was not a glider.
