Here's one I've never seen before, the Westland P12:
Interestingly, despite the RAF's warding off a German invasion of Britain in 1940, Britain, like Germany, believed this to be only a temporary postponement, making preparations for the defence of the British Isles still of vital importance. Among schemes put forward for strafing German forces as they hit British beaches or for striking at supporting surface vessels was the Westland P12, a straight modification of the Lysander army co-operation aircraft. Initially planned with two 20 mm cannon attached to the fixed undercarriage legs, a redesign led to the rear fuselage being cut short, a tail gun turret added, and the adoption of a new rear-mounted "tandem wing" with endplate fins and rudders for longintudinal stability. The P12 was first flown on 27 July 1941 and was immediately shown to be highly manoeuvrable. Sent for official trials, it was never put into production as the perceived threat diminished.

Otherwise known as the Delanne* wing Lizzie. One of the regulars here had this as their sig. I forget who now.
There's a CFS2 version here.

It's FSDS2 so should work in FS9.
*Named after the Arsenal-Delanne 10-C2 fighter concept.
