I can tell you what aircraft it looks like. It looks very like the superb fairey Gannet. Its a naval fighter aircraft of some sort. I think its a fairy expermantal prototype but without going digging in the books I have no idea.

EDIT: except the US markings....

Curtiss XF14C ?

Gnomey · 16-04-2007, 09:46 AM

Yep...

Arlo · 16-04-2007, 09:47 AM

^Same here.

The second pic may be the XF14C because of the planned four wing mounted 20mm cannons.

What is it?

Is this a hard one or not?

Arlo, that was the one you started the thread off with! See your post #1.
Gloster Meteor.

This is the REAL airplane I was going to post.
