The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

You were on the right track for sure Hurricane. Those Blackburn designers were a stuffy sour lot. Some really horrible planes from that era!
 
Picking away at the latest mystery.....Glazing is sure reminiscent of a Boeing Product, possibly a 737 spin-off? Then again fuselage seems to small in diameter for a 737, and then there's those 4 engines. Hawker products don't fit, neither do Airbus. Whatever it is, it's a nice one. :) Looks like it might be used for weather research or electronic countermeasures?!
 
Is it a Kawasaki P-1?

Looks quite a bit like the P-3 in the background
 
John's grainy machine looks very German, and appears to be powered by a Bristol Lucifer, but I don't think it's an Albatros.....can't get this ........yet.
 
:russia: There is an indirect relation to a fatal accident involving a high altitude balloon in 1934. The aircraft was built in 1928.
