Silhouette challenge
It was just those distinctive U/C legs on this one that jogged one of my few functional memory cells

Looks like it was there. E.g., Bristol Fairchild Bolingbroke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Have to learn how to upload pictures.

I don't think the Germans designed any twin-fin biplanes. Possibly this one was to give the rear gunner a better 6-o'clock shoot.
I have inverted the image to white-on-black and am now trying to fathom out the fuselage marking.

I tried them both in the very beginning.....
Funny, though: it seems to have look-out windows like the IAR-39, which would make it a reconnaissance aircraft.
I.A.R. 37, 38, 39 - reconnaissance aircraft, light bomber

Good afternoon Gents,
An interesting challenge this one, I had a quick look at coffee time and drew a blank, nearly the end of lunch time now and still zilch.
I too wonder if it's on the web!! It certainly has enough features to winkle it out.
The Germans did make a twin-finned biplane; the first two prototype Arado Ar.81 (V1/V2) had them and spatted U/C, plus covered canopy open at the gunners end, However, I'm pretty certain that there's no connection to WK's aircraft. I've just noticed from the front view, appears to have not just twin-fins, but a biplane-tail (could be struts though I s'pose)!!
A year would be very handy, but anything from WK would be great
