I'm feeling bad about holding the thread up again. I'm not trying to, it's just that no-one has taken note of the word of caution. The same thing that led people astray in my last challenge is at play here too...
The orientation of the image is 90 degrees from the original... Does that help?

Apologies for the delay...
Mel has it: the Aurora Goldeneye 50 in fact. A small (but, I think, quite pretty) tail-sitting UAV with a ducted fan driven by a rotary piston engine. The wing articulates.


Mel, You have control! (Phew, glad that's over!).

This aircraft was designed for a civil purpose. Although it was later used as a recce aircraft and a number of other roles. It's design did have an influence on a proposed fighter aircraft though.
