LM: Naw mate. Rather may have been affected by a lack thereof. Why do you ask?
It still looks the same after cleaning my spectacles. Is it a photo of the thing or a reflection of a thing?

....the banter is starting to camouflage the post somewhat. Wannit up again?
Edited to say ignore the crap about the tail, closer inspection shows it to be the wingtip of an aircraft parked behind
Oh dear, creeping senility

Well with that appearance I was thinking with the year I would find it easily - but there again....So prototypes as in more than 1...this is an aircraft as opposed to a UAV though?

Yes, there was more than a single prototype, don't know how many but two were left when the project was dropped.
It was described as a UAV and sometimes as a UCAV. What isn't too clear from the silhouette is that there are two rounded sensor housings, at the "point" and above the nose, in plan view it is symmetrical.
Edited to say New Page Reg!!

You are correct Reg; it's the Tupolev Tu-300
I'm glad you saw the T-tail as well
(and even more glad that I spotted it before I sent LM the URL)!!
RegDep has control
