Ah! A thing of beauty is a joy forever as my old Arts teacher taught us!!

Well that wouldn’t win a beauty contest.
70 or so built for naval and land-based use as a dive bomber. Looks to be a French immitation of the JU87. There was even a version without the gull wing.
Many seem to have been written off and judging by those tail-plane finlets it looks to have had longitudinal stability issues.

If it looks right, it will fly right..
I bet that thing was a handful….

Crikey, that type would be a cert for the annual Air Britain aircraft recognition contest. Just when I thought it was safe to enter!

Many thanks.
A rare beast.
No wonder I did not recognise it.

It is indeed an LN. 401 Note the inverted gullwing!

Is it a Loire-Nieuport LN.401? It’s certainly ugly!
