I even tried photoshopping out the extraneous bits of the gear but, while there are some familiar bits, I can't place it...
UNCLE!

Here is another photo. Not the best quality I'm afraid. Seems the snow has melted away...
One question.....wheres the vertical stab? It's almost XP-55 Ascender like....but a twin...very odd.
Here is a taildragger version clearly showing the tail section.
Hmmm...so it was German rather than Russian or Japanese.

No, it's a Russki, I think.

Got a sneaking feeling this wee fighter has appeared here before, but a search couldn't find it.....
It's the Laboratoire Eiffel monoplane fighter
It's also sometimes called the Breguet LE
You got it, Dave .. Eiffel is as Eiffel does...

Somewhat grainy eight passenger airliner for you all.
...and powered by a license built Bristol Jupiter IV.
Hmm, this is a real Moses special, and I'm having problems hunting it down.
Time to reveal. It's the Dornier Do K1.
Here is something much easier...
Hi Kevin,
the Lala-1 (Latajace Laboratorium 1) of the Instytut Lotnictwa. Built of an An-2R and used in the development of the breathtaking M-15 ag-plane
An easy one. No picture required (at least not now)
Which aircraft was identified by four (4) different model/type designations of different companies that had something to do with the aircraft (it was flown!). I do not mean change of manufacturer name or merger etc.
something like the Feiseler Fi 156 Storch, which I think was manufactured post-war in France, Czecjoslovakia and Romania under different designations.

Hi Dave,
sorry not the Storch. It concerns a single aircraft. To assist I can disclose it had 3 company and four type/model designations, but if you Google you likely end up with the one it is usually known under.
The aircraft served as testbed for a major aerodynamic feature which was found in a later production plane built by the company which designed this feature, but the company did not built the entire testbed aircraft.
The sum is 674
