It's the Heinkel He 177 V12 with two MK 103 under the nose, I think. The same photo can be found in

MK101.

MK101.

Correct, sorry ! My bad, the Mk 103 was considered for an oblique armament, mentioned on the same page.

Hi everyone,

I just came across this blogpost on a French post-war research project that used a Ju 88 as a test bed for ram jet engines:

French use of Luftwaffe aircraft - Ju 88 in French service

The airframe was cleaned up a bit compared to its wartime configuration, but I'm still quite impressed that the French Ju 88 was flown to Mach 0.7 on two occasions!

Regards,
