I give up, it's too hard. Fw 190 was really close in that it indeed was German, adding the leading edge slat would have told that it was a Bf 109 and recognizing the bump would have narrowed the choice down to Bf 109G-6 or Bf 109G-14 as they were the only submodels with that wing. I'll add a picture to show which part of the wing it was and what was the meaning of that odd bump.
Seriously, when you said something about the bump of the root of the wing, I was thrown off. Good picture, though. Did Fw 190s ever operate with that kind of camouflage?
The bump may have been the most difficult thing in the picture even though it was meant to be the one to help in the recognition. As we now know it was the bulge needed to fit the wider wheels introduced on the G-6, the G-10 got a more streamlined large bump.
About the Fw 190 and that camouflage, I believe they did. It looks like a fairly common late war German camouflage, probably found at least on the Dora models. The earlier ones were usually grey (as was the case with the Messerschmitts) but the later ones saw increased use of the different shades of beige and green.
The all grey camouflage was beginning to be phased out in favour of green added at about the time of the introduction of the Bf 109G-10 and Fw 190A-8, the earlier Gustav model Messerschmitts and the Anton model Focke-Wulfs had almost exclusively grey day fighter schemes on the western front. Doras sometimes had the beige colour too, as did the Bf 109G-10, -14 and Bf 109K-4. Repainted earlier models are not taken into account here, seeing Bf 109G-6's camouflaged with green and beige is certainly possible.
Anyone who's calling me a damn propeller head is pretty damn right. And the German aircraft aren't my strong area.
About the next one, I don't know. Whoever feels like posting one.
The engine powers the fan indirectly, there's a turbojet mounted under the fuselage that has its exhaust gases deflected upwards into the fan to make the fan spin and lift the machine off the ground. The cockpit is just a cockpit, no engine there.
OK, to save this thread from extinction I'll put up my answer. It's the BMW Flugelrad II V2, believed to possibly have flown in April 1945.
On a different subject, anybody out there thinking that we might need a new thread or at least a new title for this one? The resurrection doesn't quite work anymore. I could make a new one and let this be buried in the archives.
Well, I was already counting on it being dead and planned on making a new one so there would be a chance to change the thread name. Looks like my plans fell through quite badly.
