Tis indeed mate! Whereabouts do you think your post went missing, I didn't see it?!

Originally I was going to post this but the cranked wing still looked obvious...

Spot on RR

It's a great pity that you have to post OH again mate.

It's Open House everyone.

Mmmm..

No visible tail turret and what looks like a flat-topped fuselage.

Methinks that rules out the Halifax.

Thank you : I had much luck
The brain is a curious device :As I saw the pic ,my brain said "Albemarle" ,and I tried it ...

A new one ,easy too .

Good luck

Is that the (highly) modified SAAB Safir with a swept wing to check the low-speed aerodynamics of ane of SAAB's fighters ??Cannot remember the designation - some one else complete the I/D and take over.
