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...

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

Thanks Karl. Interesting.

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
