.... Aaand the winner is ....

Arngeir!

Yup. The Airspeed AS.39 Fleet Shadower.

Developed in 1940 for the Royal Navy as a carrier bourn night operated observation plane to "shadow" the fleet. Flying ahead to find the badies.

RADAR did the same job and more effectively so the development was canned.

Weird looking thing.

3. Crew of 3.
4. One operator. Not the country it was built in.
