Initially thought the Dassault MD 316T but now thinking some sort of single-tail version of the Bretagne?

Looked like a real aircraft, but now I think it may be just a Mirage.

F2, that is.

G'day mate.

No idea what it is, but very nice. Good to see you here!

Can I ask if it flew or was it a project?

Morning - or perhaps evening!

Can I ask if it flew or was it a project?
You're welcome to ask, and the answer (to the best of my knowledge) is that it did not fly and it was not a project...

Morning mate. Well I'm looking at the tail wondering if it's French and if there was any connection to the Aerospatiale TB 30 Epsilon?...

Evening mate.

So it was built but never got to fly? Are we looking outside Europe within say the last 20 years?

Information is a little sparse. Under oath to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, I would not say that

it was built but never got to fly
In better news:

Yes, it's not European, and yes, it's nascence lies within the last 20 years.
