Renhard R31? the only warplane totally designed in Belgium

Guess I gave you to much hints by telling I was so proud of it eh?
But yes correct, Renard R31 well done
It was an observation plane in service of the Belgian Air Force, built in 1932, and it was the only WWII operational aircraft entirely designed and built in Belgium.
The plane, however, had poor handling and absolutely no aerobatic potential.
All R-31's (by my knowing) were lost in the war; shot down by German fighters or destroyed on ground by bombers. It had 2 machine guns (1 forward-firing and a flexible mount in back seat) but as I said, it never proved it's fighter capabilities (because it had none).
Greetz, Red Feniks, and I have an interesting one comming up soon
 
Aha, found what I was looking for
A lot of credit to the guy who can tell me which plane this comes from:
(Very interesting landing gear)

I thought it might be a Dornier aircraft. (still haven't found it though)

On a related note, I believe the Russian plane Flyboy2 was thinking of was the MBR-2.
