I thought my eyes were going bad but looking at that picture I now know I have 20-20 vision! (On my way to the corner!)
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!

Looks like a P38 Lightning

Re: FCF 2019 advent Calendar
Google image search has a lot to answer for!
Indeed it would, but it was only the 19 I was after!!(I did say it was tongue in cheek!)

B20 - Not to be outdone by Volvo - a design of Honda engine, manufactured in various specs from '96 - '02
B20 - A WW2 Soviet gun : the Berezin B-20
B20 - Blackburn B-20 experimental aircraft, first flown in 1940

Presumably you mean before the motorway was built?

Re: FCF 2019 advent Calendar
If I was to opt for M20 as a reference, things are a bit different.
6 roads in different countries are known as the M20
One nuclear missile (French SLBM)
One Chinese ballistic missile
A pistol, a bazooka, a rocket, and a rifle
A BMW engine
Two different computers - one Italian, one Russian
Two different smartphones
....and a nebula.... the Trifid nebula.... somewhere out in space
