Right. That's where "you have seen the fin before". This is Shark.Aero s.r.l. Shark 003.

Not had much of a chance to look at this one Reg. Doesn't feature in my 2010/11 Leisure aircraft guide . I guess its a very new design?
Going to have to sign off now.

Me too, Reg. I've searched and searched but can't find it. I don't think it is the Parrott but it might be a descendant of it?

well, I have to go too. Sorry!!!!!!!!

It is new but news have been out about it already in 2007. Parrot connection I need to check.

Edit to say, that it seems likely that this project never got to its wings, although it was drummed out in 2007 - 2008. But there are lots of artwork in the web, and also pictures of a prototype, but I am not sure if it ever flew. If you ask, I'll nullify the challenge.

There was a certain geographical connection at one time between this and Parrot, though .

Abend Reg.

It seems there are two aeroplanes in your challenge!

Which one do you want us to identify?

It only looks that way Mate . The left wing has no separate identity.

Morning Reg.

My dear Mate, tell me about it.
Nothing to tell!!

It seems to have a very loose connection with Czechoslovakia.

I have just worked out the perspective. Those winglets look quite large for the size of the aeroplane.

Good morning Mate

You are on a track with the connection. Czechoslovakia but after it got loose . But the project went far-far away!

Farther than America.

Republic has little or no meaning in this context.
