I'd be really interested to know what aircraft that is seen in the lower-left background...

Here is the Pa22 - developed by French Aircraft engineer Roland Payen, it was captured in 1940 by the Germans when they invaded France, eventually being flown in 1942. It was destroyed during an Allied air raid on the Juvisy railyards (the Payen Aircraft factory was nearby) in 1943.

"Anyone can tell he's not a proper Vicker...his hair's too long."

That's not a mockup.

"Anyone can tell he's not a proper Vicker...his hair's too long."

That's not a mockup.

It was built in 1935 and wind tunnel tested extensively by Payen and by the Luftwaffe. Payen also made a great deal of modifications to the aircraft along the way.

It wasn't until 1942 that it was actually flown by some brave soul - once.

So in a way, this is a mockup that made it into the air!

Here's the Fw190 mockup used for windtunnel tests. Note the cowling configured for the BMW139 and the MG ports at the wingroot.
