From the variety of fin shapes of varying size, it looks as though Fiat had a directional stability problem with that one!

I posted the location of the photo too early last night LOL
It is a truly impressive museum - even the hangar doors seen in this pic are fascinating (mechanism)

Picture taken at Lake Bracciano/Vigna di Valle (Italian Air Force Museum) - we visited there in 2017 - a really impressive collection in the really impressive old seaplane base.
Probably overall the best museum we ever visited :) Here is a similar view out through one of the hangar doors. https://i.imgur.com/YhZeZnn.jpg |

The Fiat G.80 was a military jet trainer developed in Italy in the 1950s, and was that country's first true jet-powered aircraft. It was a conventional low-wing monoplane with retractable tricycle undercarriage and engine air intakes on the fuselage sides. The pilot and instructor sat in tandem under a long bubble canopy. Two G.80 prototypes were followed by three preproduction machines, but the Aeronautica Militare found it unsuitable for their requirements and did not purchase it in quantity. Undeterred, Fiat developed a more refined version, dubbed the G.82, for entry in a NATO competition to select a standard jet trainer. Apart from many detail changes, the G.82 featured a longer fuselage, a Rolls-Royce Nene engine in place of the G.80's de Havilland Goblin, and wingtip tanks. Five aircraft were constructed, but when the competition was cancelled and the G.82 was not selected by either NATO or the Aeronautica Militare, the development programme was finally terminated. Plans for specialised versions including night fighter, reconnaissance, and close-support aircraft went unrealised, as did the G.84 that was to have been powered by an Allison J35. The G.82s were used for a few years by the Aeronautica Militare's training school at Amendola before being handed over to the Reparto Sperimentale Volo ("Department of Experimental Flight") in 1957.

Hughes H1?
|
No sorry, not from Hughes. WIKI says maximum speed was a pedestrian 230 mph.
|
look a bit like a Bristol mercury version to me - perhaps the Valmet Vihuri?
|
Perhaps Fiat G49?
|
Indeed it is Bear. :ok:
I thought I'd try the old "Double-Fiat" trick. Two Fiats in a row. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_G.49 Over to you. |

Got this one but only because I've been grinding through dozens of planes for the Cockpit challenge - I'll leave it for someone else!!!

I thought the baggge handlers were on strike.

The challenge aircraft is an Albatros L58, a contender for the 'most butt-ugly aircraft of all time' award.
What's the pic above related to? https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....91241fceb2.png |
You are correct that the second photo is not related to the first.
My mistake |
Too busy with the goose to find a challenge.
Open house. |
I didn’t reply that your answer is correct
(still some time to go) but as you already announce open house. I suggest we promote the second photo to the now running challenge: https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....98a5df66a.jpeg |
