Good afternoon gentlemen,
A very good idea regarding the thread name Ken and many thanks to David and PPP for putting it into practice, a fitting memorial.
Hi Skwinty, I hope you can stick around as we're going to miss Reg's regular input terribly!
Back to the current challenge Ken; I think it's the SABCA S.40 ??
Unfortunately I'm going to be in a meeting all afternoon, so it'll have to an Open House if correct, sorry!!

Just popping in from the Where on Earth thread to add my own feelings of sorrow and loss. It is still surprising to me how much personality can be found in the posts a person makes. I definitely shall miss him there.

Boys:
1. Fixed u/c
2. American - no!
3. Lysanderish? - mm, yes, but very "ish"!
I will say, in fairness, that this is a prototype. The second prototype was different and had semi-retracting u/c. Prod aircraft retracted fully. The later machine (past the 1st prototype) were also different in many other ways!

edit: I'm just ducking and awaiting low-level arrival over the "black sheds" by Trevor!!

Kleine Brogel the howling sound of the J 79 engine !!! - YouTube
Crank up the volume at around 00:46! Wonderful!!!
Mmm... the good ol' J-79!!!!! And lots of stylish Italian military "outfits"!

I'm counting down to home time, boys!!!!!!!
A clue: two prototypes built and limited numbers ordered by home nation (20) and neighbours (20). Not a successful machine, however!

As a now infrequent visitor I was intrigued by the name change and sad to hear of the reason.
I think its a Koolhoven FK.56
As you might gather from the above, nothing prepared so OH if correct.
