Douglas XBT2D-1

From the Aerofiles web site:
AD-1 1946 = 1p redesignated from XBT2D-1. 2500hp Wright R-3350; span: 50’0″ length: 39’5″ load: 3407# v: 357/164/83 range: 1425 ceiling: 26,000′. POP: 242, of which 2 were modified as AD-1N and 1 as AD-1W.

I just checked out this list:

but didn’t find it, and still persist in my hunch that it was not a roadable aircraft but instead an entrant in the competition held in the US in the 1940s or 1950s for a very cheap “people’s airplane”, but despite searching through my magazine collection I still can’t find it – although I am sure I’ve seen that aircraft depicted somewhere along with several other similar designs!

Seems a bit soon to detach the SRBs (Solid Rocket Boosters), I though the Shuttle would be well out to sea before that happened! Wouldn’t want them to fall on someone’s head!
Nice picture, anyway.

DFW C.V

Thanks, Starfire, here’s a 3-view from Jane’s Fighting Aircraft of WWI of the DFW C.V

DH Moth Sk 9H

Here is an example in the RSwAF Museum at Linköping, Swedish designation Sk 9H (Trainer) – donated to the Museum in 1984 by the Swedish Air Force Museum Foundation in connection with the inauguration of the first display hall.

Rumpler C.1

From “Alverdens Fly i Farver Krigsfly 1914-1918” (Danish version of a John W. Wood book)

That rules out prototypes and experimentals then, of which many crashed on taking off for their first flight!

I wonder if Cdr Ian Riches, Royal Navy, who is on the spot, could confirm that, Victor?
