Well, that will teach me to sleep while I have a challenge running...
The aircraft is, indeed, the L-40 Meta Sokol, complete with that unusual landing gear configuration. If anyone has flown one, I'd love to hear about the recommended landing technique.
If I follow the busy overnight (to me) thread correctly, Simon has deferred to g21agoose.
You have control.

This is getting a bit ridiculous.
Assuming that g21agoose has morphed into TheTruthWillSetUFree, who has declined, I'll make an arbitrary decision to keep the thread flowing.
It's OPEN HOUSE. Somebody post something.

Although prop driven the original plan was for a composite powered machine, supplemented with a Westinghouse jet engine.
First flight was in 1947 and a large one-piece canopy covered both cockpits.
Sorry Richard, but not a Curtiss product, however the company responsible did build floats for Curtiss, in fact they were the leading manufacturer of all-metal pontoons.
Awkay,ya colloquial fella, I guess ya meen it`s the Daglas BTD -1 Destroya, or the XBTD-2 wiv ah jit engin( all said with the well-known colonies accent,purely for effect,please wear a trilby with corks hanging orff to complete the effect,whilst slugging on a tin of that well-known kangaroo-£%&s,F*&^%s)- before breakfast.....hic !!

Sorry, I had to go to work in the Collins equipped...................
Mr. Grubby,
Always an amusing thread. Great fun to try and guess some of the types.
As GROSSER hasn't celebrated his victory, I hope he won't mind if I post this to keep things going.
When the challenge is correctly guessed, I'l then defer to GROSSER so that he can put up a challenge.
This one (remarkably after 4 years) doesn't appear to have been on before.
I'm sure it won't last too long though.
