Somehow sounds like Bartini-Beriev postwar projects, but cannot find a good picture. T-117 Kit (Whale) of 1947 could be one, and we consider the monstrous VVA-14 as a follow-up.
Pretty far a cry, but that's what explain your reaction to flying boat

Hi Reg,
i would forget the reference to flying boat completely. It is none of the above. Look for a more well known manufacturer, not normally associated with transoprts.. RR

What a complete failure to use wits and tools, both freely available 
How many times I went by Sukhoi and a source of a multitude of pictures, including the one from where yours was taken. And the ends just stayed lose.

That's the one mate, the Bell-X5 
The first practical true swing-wing aircraft!
I was going to say that for someone who claimed to know "Jack ****" about cockpits, you did pretty well on the Patsy, but not so good when you posted this one's cockpit
(but I haven't found one yet either)!!
Noyade has control
Well. half hour elapsed, probably asleep by now, so it would be the ideal time to tiptoe into his room with a fooball rattle and bloody well get your own back mate

Thanks Trevor. Off to work soon?
Not really. If you look at all the posts above my answer each person actually contributed....the advantage I had was time. 
Yes, I am a gifted farkerupperer!
Easy one in return....

G'day Martin!
Tis mate. From a rather cartoonish drawing. All yours!
Yes mate. I'll have to try it next time.
The Welkin, mate?
