This thread seems to have died off, but maybe we can get it rolling again.
I remember this picture being a real head-scratcher the first time I saw it. Any guesses?
A Spitfire captured by the Luftwaffe and reengined with an Me109 engine.
Yikes, that was fast. Guess I'm not stumping anyone.
Your turn!
What is the fastest speed achieved by a piston engine aircraft on a closed course, and which aircraft achieved it?
I'm going to go with 528.33 mph, achieved by the Grumman F8F Bearcat.

You are correct. Rare Bear was its name, and clearly it was much modified from the stock bearcat.
Over to you
Hint 1: Only 16 (i believe) are actually in service
"The way to a man's heart is through his stomach...just make sure you thrust upward through his ribcage."
Would that be a Rooivalk from South Africa?
Correct! I didn't even have to give the second clue (which would have been to right click the photo and look at the file name under properties)
Your go

On the "fastest piston aircraft" question, I immediately thought of the Tu-95 Bear, and had actually typed up a reply with that one. Then I remembered that turboprops don't have pistons, considered for a while more, and decided it had to be the XF-84H Thunderscreech. Civilian race planes never even occurred to me; always neat to learn something new.

I suspect someone will get this one quickly, since it seems to crop up in discussions every now and then. But maybe not.
Piper PA-48 Enforcer
What's this one?
Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
Abusing Yellow is meant to be a labor of love, not something you sell to the highest bidder.
It's a Cierva W.9, or some related development.
Love that thing. It looks like someone built a helicopter out of a section of sewer pipe on a dare.
Yup. Your turn
