Good morning Ken,

Had to abandon the search last nigh as it was an early start this morning
It looks to be the Indraero Aero 20 ?

Morning Ken, evening Graeme ,
I thought this might be about the time to take a peek.
Thanks Ken, a good challenge, now to reverse engineer the answer and find out why I couldm't find it on my wiki searches and refine those
Done in haste I'm afraid, but I bet it won't last long with you two around!!
Tick, tock......

Good morning/evening everyone.
Sorry for being AWOL for a while. Guess what - I'm working again, but have very limited web access where I am, and no computer.
Time to resurrect my laptop.........
Looks like a good call Graeme.

Obviously a thinking man's beer!! it is the Douglas XF5D-1 Skylancer 
Noyade has control
Intended as a follow-on to the F4D Skyray. The first flight was on 21 April 1956 and was supersonic; the aircraft proved easy to handle and performed well. After four aircraft had been constructed, however, the Navy cancelled its order. The stated reason was that the aircraft was too similar to the already-ordered F8U Crusader, but it is believed by some historians that politics played as big a part; Douglas was already building a very large proportion of the Navy's planes, and giving them the F5D contract would have made it even closer to monopoly. The project test pilot was Lt.Cmdr Alan B. Shepard Jr. whose report stated that it was not needed by the Navy.
NASA 802 still exists at the Neil Armstrong Air and Space Museum at Wapakoneta, Ohio, since Neil Armstrong flew the aircraft during the DynaSoar research program. NASA 708 still in NASA markings exists as part of Merle Maine's private collection in Ontario, Oregon
