LM where is the propeller? On the nose? If there, what is the hub-looking thing above the windshield?

Evening or Morning

Typical, I had the Mamba lined up as a future challenge....trust SOMEONE to spoil that for me! Looks like you guys have had a busy day.

Do you have anything for us Graeme? Oh, and in answer to your comment:
Please go to where Ken lives, I'm sure he's frozen.
Certainly wouldn't freeze today...a pleasant 21C...not that warm by your standards but very nice for October here. Decided to make the most of it.

Having just noticed G's comment that he is
outta town today
I guess he won't be putting up a challenge until morning UK time So its good night from me

Reg was still around when I posted that and I thought he would continue on with it. Never mind, here's a project and it's on the net...

That's an interesting grill/intake jobber aft of the cockpit.

Auxiliary intake?

G'day mate. Now don't you go all technical on me now but as I understand it there was to be "two or three small gas-turbines" in the centre section to assist in STOL performance.

So, it is ADDAX-S, but with that landing gear, I wonder if it was STOL or VTOL.

And, Good Day Gentlemen. Sorry for bailing out yesterday without a word .

Lot of simultaneous posts there...so just to confirm, Reg has control. It is the New Zealand IML AXM-3 Addax-S supersonic fighter/attack project.
