    Hello blue-sophist,

    it is not a Junkers,arfah has it,the Baynes Bat,intended to be bolted on to tanks to turn them into glider tanks.
    The Hamilcar went into production instead of it but the prototype was used for research.
    The eagle eyed will notice that I didn't photoshop out the tail markings!

    The Ju 322 only existed as 2 prototypes, so there

    Due to lack of prizes, I have awarded myself a biscuit !

    I needed alot of clues tho' - My first thought was for a "Boomerang Ironing board."

    It looks like a derivative of the C47 ! Engines, under carriage, loop antenna.

    Hello arfah,

    this one is neither a glider nor a prototype and it does not carry tanks.
    It flew successfuly and still exists today.

    Edited to add it is called something remarkably like what The-Lord-Flasheart wrote!
