Thanks Mate!

Next. A bit small but making it bigger takes quality down, so take it as it is.

Yes, it is resting on the ground, on top of a half-rotten piece of wood.

Correction: It is close the ground, but the piece of wood is behind it.

Very interesting Reg.

I see a divergent exhaust, so guessing it isn't a jet at all.

Another type of propulsion system?
