Question What is this a/c?

Hi Guys,

As you have probably seen from my other post I have just come back from holiday in Minorca. Around the weekend of the 23rd, I saw an aircraft that I do think I have seen before.

I was flying from West to East along the south coast (we were at S. Tomas resort) so I assume it was either going to the Mohon or the local field next-door.

The aircraft was black with a pencil-like fuselage with shallow delta-like shaped wings at the back of the a/c. There was at the front of the a/c winglets either side just behind the cockpit in a similar location to the ones on a B1-B Lancer - but the were a lot longer. I assume it had a vertical stabliser - but didn't really see it due to the angle I saw it at.

I would have thought the winglets at the front are the elevators and all other control surfaces are as normal?

Does anyone know what it is?

Cheers

Adam.
