We've had that one before. Almost looks like an oversized GB racer.

Wrong airplane to use following that statement...red admiral said:
'Tis the General Aircraft Ltd. GAL.38 Fleet Shadower. Not to be confused with the Airspeed AS.39 Fleet Shadower...
Fade to Black...

yes that's the only prototype, P1758, she was infact designed alongside the Airapeed AS.39, funnily enough, for the carrier born fleet shaddowing role, and the picture is of the plane later in her life, as she was originally fittet with a triple tailplane unit...........
blackwolf you are aware that the picture you have posted is of the Airspeed AS.39?? i'm sure you are aware it's just that you didn't make it very clear.........

Yes its ugly, but oddly small for a four-engined aircraft. Any ideas why they just didn't use 2 engines? Added safety in case of malfunctions?
I hope this is a bit harder.. if not I'll have to get some really obscure aircraft.

the Niagara V engines used produced 130hp each, so they needed more than two, and that offered more saftey and longer range........

Yes I'm aware. And I think that the statement "Not to be confused with the Airspeed AS.39 Fleet Shadower... " followed by the photo of same should have made it very clear to all involved. But I should know better than to assume such things here in the playground...the lancaster kicks ass said:

there's no need to be like that, for all i know you might have been posting annother picture of what you thought was the GAL.38, i was only checking........
and if you don't like the "playground", you don't have to post here........

He was right about it being a playground 
Im intrigued by red admirals aircraft though. Stuka canopy, parasol wing, twin tails...even weirder than the P.12

I'll leave it a bit longer before you all admit defeat
