2 or 4 engines?

Is the commonality a "first" of some kind?

Did I fly commercially?

Am I a prototype or testbed to help with the design of a more famous commercial aircraft?

Am I the Bristol B 188? There's a Lockheed 188 Electra - dunno about McD?

Just Googled McD and 188 - the F-18 Hornet is designated CF-188!

Learn something new every day!

Yes - the 'Flaming Pencil' is indeed the right answer:

http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/bristol-type-188.htm

Bre901's last puzzler was the Breguet 941/McD 188, Lockheed had the 188 Electra - and the Bristol T 188 was a research ac (which managed M1.88!) - the first Brit a/c with engines designed for sustained supersonic flight.

'twas a scale model of the Avro 730, Britain's stillborne supersonic bomber. We really used to make such a/c once....

Over to you, Saab D!!

But you forgot the Junkers 188, the Blohm & Voss P. 188, Cessna 188 Agwagon, Bell D-188 A (XF-109)

Ahh, yes L&S!

I was trying to be too clever, and hoping you would look for the esoteric!

Are you a Britten-Norman Defender/ Islander / Trislander?

Assuming I'm wrong, do you mean that the chap never sold the rights to his designs, or never sold an aircraft?
