Well, I'm around but very busy today! I saw a couple of lights on when I grabbed a peek at break time and thought you'd have some company by now!
Unfortunately, I'm not going to be near a computer at all this afternoon so I can't put anything up now, sorry mate

It looks like a C-12C Huron, Brian
Edit: reminds me of a few hours beside the runway at Sde Dov watching the various Beech 200/C-12s up to the point the two uniformed officers came over and asked what I was doing .... bird watching of course!!
Edit2: if corect it will have to be OPEN HOUSE I'm afraid... must go!!

It is indeed a UAV.
Do you want me to change it for another one - I'm happy to do so....?
In fact bugger it - standby by for a replacement.....

Evening David Well I was about to second Karl's guess of the Vega Flying Test Stand!
May be alternatively listed as the Lockheed Altair 8G?

I second it and third it Ken! The Lockheed Altair 8G that is. Your thread!
It proved out the Menasco Unitwin 2-544 engine (which I think is a very cool engine for the time) used in the airframe AiRover model 1, based on an Orion... or Vega Altair... for the Starliner, you know... err, never mind. Sirius, you guys have control.

Morning gentlemen.
I have it from Aerofiles as the Vega Flying Test Stand. The Altair had a radial.
Karlark was the first to get there, but from his last comment I am not sure if he has offered an OH.
If so then it must go to Ken.

Morning gents. I am a little confused. David you said in your post (which has been deleted) at 2051 yesterday that it wasn't the Vega Flying Test Stand. You now say it is - which I agree. It was previously named the Altair 8G (per Aerofiles) but I cannot claim that as a correct answer since Karl was there first. Karl has kindly handed the thread to me, but it really should be Karl's!
As no doubt Karl is still asleep I will psot something shortly in order to keep things moving.
