Or possibly a Hawker Henley modification
It is. Test bed for the Rolls Royce Vulture engine. Karlark has control.

Thanks one11. Is the intake off-center on that aircraft? Or is it just me



Great challenge. Next one coming up...

Kudos for finding that Karl.

G'day Karl.
Is the horizontal stabiliser further up the vertical fin - early MiG style?

Thanks mate.

Canadair CL-41 Tutor? But then, should the air-brakes be further back?

Can't quite work out what that "lump" is above the starboard air-brake and why that air-brake appears to have a triangular "hole" in it?

Is the aircraft slightly to starboard and we're seeing part of the cockpit?

That is the one. Your control.

I can't quite work out what the bumps are on the fuselage... they look like they are further back from the cockpit just in front of the air brake. I bet someone here will let us know.

Unbeknown to me, I posted what appears to be the CL-41 "R" version which would account for the lumpy fuselage:



Still your control Noyade

I don't think so mate, I'm happy to play. I'm sure you will be generous with the clues.

Speaking of which...
A Clark drawing, so very likely British?
Cabin Air. For passengers or just the crew?
Looked at some of his WW2 aircraft drawings, but there is a possibility it's a civil aircraft?
What are the letters missing from ....."ANTS"....?

That'll do mate.

Cheers. Don't wait up.

Post war transport with the useless TKS anti-icing on the leading edge.
Hermes or Viking.
I understand the T.K.S. system has improved greatly since my day
