Initial thoughts went A-10 > Pucara (then noted a high wing?) > Bronco.
Now going with Convair Charger.

Noyade has it with the Convair Model 58 Charger, an unsuccessful bidder for the COIN contract won by the Bronco.

As Uncle Roger would say: “WIHIHH?”



Noyade has the con.

I was going to suggest Westland Wyvern with second prop artfully hidden but not sure, tail plane looks too high set for starters.

First thoughts were Martin Mauler,but closer inspection would be the Kaiser-Fleetwings XTBK-1.....Of which there is not a lot of complimentary information..

OH ...again ,if correct....

I believe that post-modern Flea is the Croses EC-6 Criquet. He also designed the EC-9 Para-Cargo Croses Para-Cargo
At which point I hope someone thought the joke had gone far enough.

If I'm right, Open House in the fullness of time.
