Now it is better,However it is still looking like a one which was taken from a kindergarten.

And if the kids at the kindergarten grow bored-brighten it up with another wing.

If you get bored of the kids just hop in, and fly away.


(PS- Thanks Wurger and Krabat42 for your input on the Do 17. Revealed as just a 'Dornier Do 17' this am, regardless of model)

A guess, the Miles Master M24 in the second photo, fitted with the slip wing tried on the Hurricane for extra range.

No and Yes. It's the Hillson Bi-mono. An interesting experiment in allowing an aircraft to take-off from grass fields or roads at 'overload' weights, then 'slip' the wing off in flight to regain maneouvrability and fighting performance.
Built in 1940 its performance was so bad that the maximum speed as a biplane was less than the stalling speed as a monoplane; in other words; jettisoning the top wing caused an immediate stall. A single, successful 'slip' was made on July 16 1941. The company pilot reported a gentle sink of a few hundred feet on jettisoning. There are protective frames round the rudder and elevator horn balances, presumably to protect the control surfaces when the top wing was dropped. The monoplane landing was described as "like a high speed kangaroo."

And yes, this interesting experiment continued with the bi-plane Hurricane.

 
Heres a couple of more shots (nice Pic Mossie)
