The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hi Kevin,
the Lala-1 (Latajace Laboratorium 1) of the Instytut Lotnictwa. Built of an An-2R and used in the development of the breathtaking M-15 ag-plane
 
An easy one. No picture required (at least not now)
Which aircraft was identified by four (4) different model/type designations of different companies that had something to do with the aircraft (it was flown!). I do not mean change of manufacturer name or merger etc. :icon_lol:
 
something like the Feiseler Fi 156 Storch, which I think was manufactured post-war in France, Czecjoslovakia and Romania under different designations.

Hi Dave,
sorry not the Storch. It concerns a single aircraft. To assist I can disclose it had 3 company and four type/model designations, but if you Google you likely end up with the one it is usually known under.
 
The aircraft served as testbed for a major aerodynamic feature which was found in a later production plane built by the company which designed this feature, but the company did not built the entire testbed aircraft.
The sum is 674
 
88 plus 521 plus 63 plus 2 makes 674.
Crescent wing used in the Victor V-bomber.
HP-88 Handley Page (wing design)
Type 521 (Supermarine, fuselage)
G-63 General Aircraft prior to merger with Blackburn (construction)
Y.B.2 (Blackburn/SBAC after merger with General Aircraft)
O.H. please
 
Gosh, that was my next guess

Well, not my NEXT next guess, I was thinking Concorde nose

A neat variation on the game that I'd like to try again
