Looking at the vane on the top of the pitot probe, I would say this uav is designed for STOL or research.

Hallo there. I thought you just wake up and wipe it off, one arm tied behind your back. How about a scaled-down concept plane?

Hi LM,

Certainly for research tho not STOL but, in the UK news very recently.

Definitely a different 'concept' but not for a specific aircraft.

I think you've got it Reg, but that name's been used several times, can you give me the manufacturer?

Edited to say that I see you have The Folkerts SK-1 "Speed King"

Well done, you have control.
