All yours mate.

(Surrounded in mystery this aircraft was supposedly in a hangar which was struck by lightning and destroyed before its first flight...)

It is a front view, and before you ask - it was manned and flew.

In the middle what you see is a propeller.

Although it would probably take maybe 15-20 minutes to prepare, I could post a 3-D silhouette.

Interested?
