You have it. It is the prototype Turbay T-11. In the 1960s, Alfredo Turbay designed an airplane that he called the T-11. Based on this design, he and Erwin Mai from Alaire SCA developed the T-11 further to the Alaire AL.1 Cacique




You have control.

This is a real puzzler.

Is it a flying wing with two booms supporting the centre fin ?

I thought it would be easy to find, but no luck so far. Post WWII US-built perhaps?
