This popped up while looking for some Vengeance undercart photos for a recent discussion! This one was new to me, and I thought it might be of interest to some of you. A pretty distinctive-looking aircraft- reminds me somewhat of the Fairey Spearfish or a B7A Grace on steroids!  Looks like this one is right up Anigrand's alley! Enjoy!

That's an odd duck indeed.  The glasshouse looks like something that might result if, after months of tension and furtive glances, an Avenger and a Zero hit it off at a drunken office party where the mood and the music were just right, and the copy room was dark and unoccupied....  

 

Never seen an ADF "football" faired into a fin fillet before.  Reminds me of some of Douglas' late prop-era attack designs, or a Martin Mauler on even more steroids.
