Morning David!

Are we looking from the front, upper? Are those veins at the ends of the "aerofoils"? Jet powered?

RR

Morning Martin.

You are looking from the front and below.

The vertical structures are control surfaces embedded in the wing leading edge.

Not jet propelled, and launched using RATO.

OK. A "lifting body" machine perhaps?

Not really - a blended delta wing.

OK, I'm stumped!!! :(

OK mate - do you have anything prepared, 'cawz I'll give good clues. ;)

Yes, mate. I have one ready....

It's a UAV with a rotary petrol engine, and the engine has been specifically designed for that use.

More in a minute.........

Defence suppression drone.

Designed and built in South Africa late 80s early 90s.

The Lark?????????

Bingo!

All yours mate - just as well really because I have to leave shortly.

Thanks David.

Here's one for whoever is out there!!!!

I'm still here.

mmmm.....does it have a horizontally-opposed twin?

er... no, David

Now it's me who is stumped. :uhoh:

OK. Its a mod of a well known machine. It went in to limited production. It had/has a four-cyl lump up front.

Edited to clarify

Is that mod the fin/rudder?

Not as far as I know. In fact it looks much like the original ...... :)

I asked because it reminds me of a similar French job.
