Information and pictures on this aircraft are very scant. I do not know it's precise age, but I can tell you that it is no longer in production.

Standby - I'm not sure if it's in Aerofiles.

Edit. Can't see it in Aerofiles.

Another mental picture. A jet fighter pilot utters the above after firing off his missiles at a Bear...which is a Viscount.

The manufacturer was not well known, at least as far as I can see.

First flight was 1997.
