Look like a B26 Marauder with breast implants that have gone wrong!

Having a tough time with the grainy horror.
The basic airframe is easy - a Martin Model 179
the specific beast? best I can come up with in spite of all my Marauder data is the Navy JM-1 that was modified to be the flight test a/c for the Westinghouse X-19 (later, J-30) jet engine.
However, since the one airframe was reported to be assigned, vaguely, to a "secret projects unit" it may have been used for other tests.

Now that looks like one from the movie 'PLANES 2' or the other name for it, still yet to get that on my shelf .. have not seen it yet and I've lent my 'PLANES' out to some good friends .. those movies are a must for us plane nuttersOriginally Posted by lefty
Haggis ? And lamb, cider, Calvados and boudin noir too ? I think I'm emigrating.........
Anyway, back to matters aeronautical - here's a twin, which I suspect may have appeared here before - if so, sorry - but it's quite a nice cuddly one.....
It is a jet testbed but converted overseas by Dassault to test the SNECMA ATAT 101 (F-WBXM), Oct 1950.
Texas awakes ! Kevin has this one nailed -a Marauder with a dirty great ATAR in the rear fuselage.
Have just seen the world news - some pretty awful storms north of Dallas - hope our man and family are safe and sound.......

Luckily we were about 30 miles NW of where the tornadoes plowed through. Very strange weather for this time of year.
Back to aircraft, here is one that seemed to be ahead of it's time with forward swept wings...
In looking at another photo from a different angle, the forward sweep is way less pronounced so it makes me think this photo gives an exaggerted impression. That said, this STOL performer was powered by a Kinner and was tested around 1929.
Hi Moses!
Everybody knows my ignorance about US planes however I looked at this very item a few days ago: it should be the Maximum Safety M3 of 1929: I've noticed that there's one more (or the same?) with a less pronounced dihedral....
Cheers

According to Aerofiles the one with what looks a wing with a lesser dihedral should be the M-1 (the former with a Comet engine the latter with a Kinner engine)
So gentlemen pick up your choice!
Hey BG, you are poking around the right hangar. While the Safety planes can be a little confusing (as I discovered), this is the M-1 actually. You can see the X10046 reg in the unaltered photo.
That said, have a cold one as I think you are close enough!
Thanks Moses for the explanations re the Maximum Safety. Much appreciated!
Now what about this beautiful pic of a plane on a carrier?
Cheers
BG
Can't find a exact match for it but looks like Martinsyde F.4 Buzzard with a Yokosho tail.

I see where Chris is coming from., but think this is the Mitsubishi Type 10 (1MF3).
I didn't have a pix of IMF3 so thanks for that. Looking at IMF4 of which this is supposed to be the proto I can see the family resemblance. Would you have a pix of the IMF1 and IMF5? Since I'm missing them.
Chris
How's your Russian, Chris ?
This is as good a selection as I have seen - the first image is the 1MF-1, and #229 is the 1MF-5, I think.

Yes Lefty this... is the Mitsubishi 1MF3Your turn please....
Cheers
BG
Dug up some more grain - what is this beast lurking in its hangar ? Special Christmas bonus - two photos !!!
Hmm. Almost looks like some kind of Ryan effort.
Not a Ryan - and not in Aerofiles......
continuing the japanese theme Kawanishi K-12
Chris
Indeed, Chris, the would-be record breaker. Well spotted.
Not feeling very well now so will go Open House
Chris
Sorry to hear that Chris - get well soon - and have a Happy New Year...
Here is one just in time for the new year.
Maybe the pilot had been drinking?
