Apart from the sleeve, I'm going, so no time to monitor.

That's it!

Or Kawasaki XC-2, number 201 - first prototype.

Over to you!

(Ready to post?)

Thanks Reg. My first thought (honestly) was the Kawasaki C-1, but of course that had low by-pass engines. I forgot all about the C-2!

I'll give it a go. I have no editing software of any use on this PC so apologies that what will follow is not a silhouette - but it should make it easier. I'll monitor on and off during the evening - assuming it lasts more than a few mins!

Does this belong to the Iranian Azarakhsh (Thunder) fighter family?

Like Saeqeh.

My deception worked!

Not Iranian and no connection with the Azarkhsh that I'm aware of.

Evening Gentlemen,

Ken, I'd say that's the unfortunate Canadian Venga TG-10 ??

If it is, I'm afraid it'll have to be Open House please as I'm just having a coffee break and then it's back to work again for a couple of hours!

You no-good

The Canadian Venga TG-10 Project

Let's put it this way: I was on track, and I saw that it only had one engine, but did not want to retract my stab. How does that sound .

(And this story has a special merit on its side, because it happens to be true.)

Well done Trevor.It is indeed the Venga TG-10 from Canada ....whose design considerably predates the aforementioned Iranian aircraft, albeit that both designs originated from the F-5. Clearly in project mode in the picture, the prototype was built, but destroyed in a fire.

SincoTC has declared Open House.
