I can see you've been busy on this one !. Sorry tho', its not a '36. Remember, you're looking at a nose wheel assembly in this pic....with two wheels and two steering rams, so that will give a clue to the size of A/C thats up for identification (its not small).

Few more clues... its British design from the late 40's, the exhaust should give a clue to the powerplant used
 
Neither.
Not a tail-sitter, though.
High-wing twin engined, it was (and still is in some aspect) a not conventional plane for his days...

Cheers

You win!

Yes, it's the Budd RB-1/C-93 Conestoga the "Steel plane", a modern cargo built mainly of stainless steel in early '40s



Here some basic info from "Virtual Aircraft Museum" (All the World's Helicopters and Rotorcraft - the most complete helicopter collection in the world. Helicopters, autogyros, tilt-rotors, tilt-wings etc.)
Budd RB / C-93 Conestoga - transport

It's been over a week, so if you guys don't mind I'll post another one to keep the thread going.
This one is not cut, it's the whole picture.
