Well done hesham , it is the Bartini R114 from Russia. Designed as a high speed rocket interceptor during WW2, it was to have a top speed in excess of 2,000 kmh. Sadly it was never built, although I believe construction had started when the project was stopped.

All yours hesham.....I am now definitely closing for the night!

I think I have seen you on the forum before, but just a reminder if you have nothing to post, please declare Open House.
