One more clue, for now...
1) Monoplane...
2) Twin engined...
3) Propeller driven...
4) Manuf. used the same name twice...for two totally different aircraft...almost 2 decades apart...
5) Designed to a mid-war requirement...(WW2)
6) Thinking of the above mentioned contra props...some versions had these as well...
10) The first flight(s) were after the end of the war...
11) Some of the later versions were modified after the war, for Anti-Submarine Warfare / Detection use, but they were Short lived...
12) The ASW versions were Turboprop engined, with single props (not contra-rotating) and transformed a decent looking plane into a hideous (IMO) looking thing that also had rather abysmal flight characteristics.
13) The first aircraft to use the name was a late 1920's biplane...almost 20 years prior...
14) It had folding wings...which oughta narrow the field somewhat...
15) A few were used as target tugs...but there were so many other (more common) types available after the war that our quiz aircraft became superfluous.
16) Limited production...more than 2 dozen but less than 3...

In the case of this aircraft, and the Gannet, they must have had bad eyesight or sumpthin'...although the prototype was cool looking, IMO...it just got uglified as mods were made.
T G ...name the plane you're thinking of, because info on our quiz plane is kinda Short...and I will be fishing for more soon...

OK, can't resist any longer. How about the Short Sturgeon? Here's the Wikipedia page: scroll down until you get to the picture of the anti-submarine version. Maybe have a stiff drink first. The only reason I got this (if it is this airplane) was Proptop's using "Short" capitalized in a couple of clues. I figured that was a bonus clue.

You got it...and yes, the Short being capitalized was a hidden extra clue...thanks...
I also read where the ASW versions w/ the turboprop engines had their exhausts pointing down, which really messed with the trim, with changes in power settings...and engine out conditions were oh s*%# big time...
All of that additional side area ahead of the C. G. with no additional fin / rudder area could'nt have helped matters either...
The early, Merlin engined versions were nice looking. I think...but we've seen it happen many times...with modifications, and changes in job requirements, the sometimes grotesque protuberences appear...

The Zeppelin-Lindau Rs.III fits the clues so far, though I think my target would rate higher on the ugly scale. And its intended mission (Clue 2) was much narrower than that of the Rs.III. But I may have been leading you astray. I know you'd never do such a thing.

The Schweizer RU-38 Twin Condor is a two or three-seat, fixed gear, low wing, twin boom covert reconnaissance aircraft.[6]
[7]
RU-38 is the US military designation for the aircraft, indicating Utility, Reconnaissance. The Schweizer company model number is Schweizer SA 2-38A Condor and, in its three-seat configuration, Schweizer SA 3-38A Condor[8]
Based on the Schweizer SGM 2-37 motor glider, a total of five RU-38s were produced between 1995 and 2005. The aircraft remains in production by Sikorsky Aircraft after acquiring Schweizer.

Getting close! But the airplane I'm looking for never reached production and was a generation earlier.

5. Ceiling about 6000 feet, top speed somewhat over 100.
6. Crew of three.
7. The project was ended because technological advances made developing an airplane to do what this one was intended to do unnecessary.
8. Tricycle landing gear.
9. Folding wings.
10. No armament.
11. Designed to have a very low cruise speed and to be quiet.
12. The technological advance that made it unnecessary to develop a plane to do what this one would have done was the production of effective airborne radar.
This clue may help..
