That's not your average Battle. Contra rotating props?


And in USA markings?


From Wikipedia: "Battle K9370 was used to test the Fairey Monarch 2,000+ hp
(1,490+ kW) aero-engine with electrically-controlled three-blade contra-
rotating propellers in 1939. According to Jane's All the World's Aircraft
1946-47, the aircraft was shipped to the U.S.A. after 86 hours test time."
