Thanks Trevor.

Don't have a silhouette mate, but I've got a photo which may help you with the Cockpit Challenge...

Thanks mate,

I hadn't seen the the new cockpit yet, a bit hectic here, the cupboard is bare, so gotta nip out and get some provisions shortly.

This looks familiar, is it one of those fan-in-wing jobbers?

Trevor, an expert source tells me it had a big lifting wing and intakes. Engine (fan) buried inside.

Well, lets just forget it then.

Make it open house.

I have it as the Phalanx Dragon, then renamed American Aircraft Corporation Dragon.
