A Northrop A-17 on steroids. You're mean mate
the A17 was the fixed U/C version with spats, but you can have it to prove I'm not mean
and if you want further proof, check out SC 
Edit: Bugger, he's gone to watch Cricket
(Maybe the Aussies will get trounced this time 
)Noyade has declared Open House, Enjoy the match

Evening mate,
Well, the Uassies seem to be in a good position now; can they get the next six wickets tomorrow in the first session
Dunno about this challenge though, I'm going to be pretty busy this weekend and just having a quick look now and hoping to glean a little info to work on later if possible.
The closest to that configuration that springs to mind is the Republic XP-72, but I know that it's not it 'cos the intake chin is not the right shape and the wintips are wrong, (unless the second prototype with Contra-props had a different "Radiator"? intake and clipped wings, but that's just grasping at straws) !!
Is the XP-72 the type, configuration and era I should be looking at and the continent would be a help??
Will try and have another look later, hope the Curry was good

Evening Graeme,
Good result at the WACA
Not in the sense that it's an engine hung onto an existing airframe; it's on the wing where its designed to be, but it and the airframe were built to test various things, a one-off
Edit: Ah ha a swoop!! Yes mate 'tiz the Bristol T-188 (the other wing if we want to really anal)
Noyade has control

Engine test-bed?

nice to see a bit of Indian Vindaloo
but then the black rectangles around the nacelle triggered a thought
Is yours in the fuselage or a nacelle?
