Planegill is correct! Well done, David! Over to you...




It is indeed the Explorer 500T, the turbine powered proof of concept aircraft from Explorer Aircraft, Inc, the American company who bought the design from AEA, the Australian firm who built the piston-engine-powered version shown in your correct answer.

and don't miss seeing the unusual landing gear retraction/extension sequence in the streaming video at the bottom of the page. If you thought the Cessna 337 gear cycle looked odd, you'll love this one!
