NC131 ... yes

A real Frankenstein of an aircraft. Built as a variable stability test aircraft that can simulate the behaviour of any other aircraft in flight.

No it's not a Fury because that engine is not a Kestrel is it?

How about the Slipwing Hurricane the Hillson FH40

At first I thought this

but it wasn't.
The Wyvern was a quick one because it has always annoyed me that the FAA museum has the early Eagle powered model instead of the real Python powered one everyone knows. So it came back to me quite fast.

Challenge is ... what did I first think it was?
