Very funny.

Interesting to see the design compromises needed for the 187. I can't imagine the pilots particularly enjoying having to look out of the window to read some instruments.

I think that's it. I didn't spot it in the WWII spotters cards but other images show the likeness much better.

Yeah same here. The spotters cards seemed to show a swept back leading edge outboard of the engines. Proper dwgs of the FW 187 show a remarkable similarity to the aircraft Mike posted

Focke-Wulf Fw 187 ?

Excellent work, Marijn


Strangely, they say that only a few were built. I've seen at least two different registration numbers on crash photos, and anothe picture including a turret, whereas the description I read, mentioned the rear crew member operating defensive guns via periscope and remote control.
A few photos here, so it was real:
