May also be called Fiat/CANSA, as built by Fiat.

Over to you

[Noyade]

Thanks mate. Not as clever as yours, but in the tradition of the very first page of SC...

[RegDep]

Now mate, before I start digging up (from where My Missus has hidden it) my Aviation Library (consisting of beaten copies of 1959 and 1960 Observer's Book of Aircraft and nothing else), please pray tell would it be wasted effort to do so.

[Noyade]

would it be wasted effort to do so.

Yes mate.

1960 Observer's Book of Aircraft

That was a good year.

[Lightning Mate]

Evening mate.

Looks like we've got ourselves a mud mover.

Italian maybe?

[Noyade]

Morning mate.

Not Italian.

[Lightning Mate]

Did it fly?

[Noyade]

First flight was 1980.

[Lightning Mate]

Ah well - in those years interdictors/attack were all the rage, so I presume that was what it was designed for.

BUT - a low wing set up was very unusual.

[Noyade]

Advanced trainer/ground attack aircraft.

[Lightning Mate]

AIDC AT - 3Tzu?

[Lightning Mate]

In full, the AIDC AT-3Tzu-Chiang

[Noyade]

AIDC AT - 3Tzu?

AIDC AT-3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Your control.

[Lightning Mate]

Thanks mate.

I have been trying to plot its' C of G position - the engines were well back.

Standby.....

[Lightning Mate]

This one would be nowhere near it.....

[Noyade]

British.....?

[Lightning Mate]

No mate, but it is European.

Only one ever made and this is a replica.

I'm tempted to do my map thing again..............
