Methinks this is not as old as it looks.
Its not...its quite new.

A twin-boomer? Homebuilt, Ken?
Well it is twin booms, but as LM points out, they are tubular. Its available both as a kit or complete aircraft.

is it Dutch to test LM's theory on twin-boomers from the land of Gouda?

Sadly the theory does not work! Its not Dutch.

Of course David, this may be the exception that proves the rule?

That sounds like the machine.

I know, but the site is the only one where I have managed to find it.

Since you have it, it simply must be available somewhere else.

Looking...

I'm wondering if I should offer any clues? We are in a unique position (I think) in that LM has found a photo of the aircraft, but cannot identify it! As the picture has been posted I guess everyone is now at the same starting point!

So, just one clue for now....the aircraft evolved from the design for a UAV.

Sorry to spoil your fun.

Shall I delete the image?

On second thoughts RR has probably saved it.

Looks to me like it's based on the Pioneer.

No thats fine...it would be unfair on those who haven't seen it!

No connection with the Pioneer.
