Good morning Mel. What a dog's breakfast threads can become when anarchy rules. (anarchy rules, an oxymoron, I know..) I think your silhouette is of the giant, nearly 5-ton GTOW, Laister-Kauffmann XCG-10A glider. Built in St. Louis, Missouri at the close of WW.II, the ship had a 105-ft wing span, and a retracting nose-wheel.

You are 100% correct. The Nord NC856a Norvigie it is.

Close but you have the wrong 'letter' and what was the main role of this a/c?
Norwich...No it's not a drone.
Daz

ps. The seating might give a clue as to the a/c role

Well done Kieron Kirk and S'Land. The a/c is a F-104F. The role of this a/c was combat-proficiency trainer. As opposed to the F-104G which was a single-seat interceptor and fighter bomber.

Open house. Reason being, it gives others the chance who may not be 'savvy' with a/c. Gives them an opportunity to join in and post, many may not have a chance of identifying an a/c but may want to enter a challenge.
