Ain't it just HP.

Many thanks RR.

The challenge, apart from the wing planform, looks more like the Ju 322 Mammut.

Not F3s mate.

Edit for your edit - yes. F1As to be precise.

Yep same here...
Then it must be along the lines of your Mammut suggestion... or Russian?

Could it be a Tupolev/ANT?

I'm still trying to work out whether it is powered or not.

My money is on powered (tail boom angle, jagged nose profile = engines?)

I was looking at the ANT-20 before (wiki similar aircraft links): too many engines imho, nose too long, even if, if one takes the perspective into account...

I'd go for Me322/323 but there is no sign of fuselage ahead of the wing!

I just can't buy those mate.

Since Lethbridge is seven hours behind us, it is going to be a long wait, so I'll check out for now.

stepping back... nice XTB2F-1 by the way! Clearly a Tracker predecessor!

Xtb2F lumps: - drop tanks on my drawing, but pylons look capable of bombs and torpedos etc.

The challenge is almost certainly the Ju322, which had no forward fuselage to speak of with the cockpit sitting on top.




the more I look at the drawing the less convinced I become, not enough aspect ratio, or was there an extended span version.?

LM and Buttrick are correct. It is the Junkers Ju-322 Mummut. LM has control.

Good grief - so it was unpowered!

Still don't get the wing outer planform though.
