Name that Flying Machine
All good mate, no worries. 
Maybe the Atlas Angel C4M or Turbine Kudu?
From Wiki under the Aermacchi AL-60 site...
"A number of C4M Kudu aircraft are still flying privately and have proven well in the role of skydive release aircraft. They have been re-engined with turbine engines. This design is known as the Atlas Angel or Turbine Kudu.[9][10]"

Winner winner chicken dinner!
The turbine conversion changed the Kudu from an Avgas to noise converter to a really useful dropship.
Take it away longer ron!
Thanks Ombinda

)

Naturally I am thinking "Bellanca", fathered by an Italian American by name of Giuseppe Mario Bellanca (1886 - 1960), clue of course being the wide-chord lift struts visible. However it is entirely possible that some of his ideas could have been copied by others!

Not much to work with - and it was hard to figure out what was foreground and what was background, but it was that weird angle of attack that made me think this is a wing where there normally isn't one.
I'm thinking the Boeing Vertol BV-347?

It was deliberately cropped not to give too much away but leave a good challenge. Any rotor blades or such would have been an immediate give away.
Yes, it the Boeing BV347.
Never quite saw the point of it, tilt wing helicopter ??
Over to you Noyade.

I was absolutely convinced I was seeing a small plucky VTOL machine with outrigger wheels at an airport with the tower in the distance.
Moving on...
No, not German.
1,600 lbs of 1/4 inch armour.
Yes, ground attack in general.
Single engine.
Certainly related - but a lot slower.
