Yes it does. It looks like a Seversky BT-8.

Good morning Karl,

Just pausing for a hurried coffee break.

I'll second that call; the picture that Graeme cropped appears to be this one:
Seversky BT-8 - trainer

As it's nearly 1am in Wagga Wagga and Graeme's not likely to around for several hours yet, I'm sure that he would agree that you should take control :ok:

Well Thank You Trevor. :)

Here is the next SC:

Good afternoon Karl,

I do believe that's the Moreland M-1 Trainer ??

Good Evening Trevor,

It is the Moreland M-1 Trainer! :D
I thought it would be a difficult one to ID, but not for you. :ok:

SincoTC's control

Thanks Karl,

Here's the next silhouette:

Good call on the BT-8. I guess a case for "you can crop, but can't hide forever". :)

Evening mate. Ruskie looking? It flew? A gun in the tail?

G'day Graeme,

Thanks, 'twaz Karl that got your BT-8, I just seconded it as you were :zzz: (like a baby I hope)

'Tiz a Ruskie, it did fly and that is a gun in the tail :ok:

Yes mate, I know, I was just giving you all a big warm fuzzy hug. :)

Ilyushin? Beagle with a nose job?

I thought you did, but I didn't want to steal the credit on the ID from Karl

Not an Ilyushin

I steal credit every day. I wish I had more savings. :(

Mr Tupolev?

A bolded thought? Is that a clue mate?

Sorry, not from Mr Tupolev!

No mate, but if you want a clue, it's in the wing-tips ;)

Really?

Let's back up a bit. This is a Russian twin-jet aircraft built and flown. Needle nose and straight wing? Carried comrades into battle?

Not an RPV?

The other thought is a Ruskie equivalent to the American Thunderjet/B-29/B-36 wingtip parasite projects?

But this looks too big for that.

OK, lets have a quick summary!

This is a Russian twin-jet aircraft built and flown. Yes

Needle nose maybe not quite as pointy as it looks, but that's how the silhouette shows it!

straight wing Yes (viewed from above ;)

Carried comrades into battle? It didn't enter service

Not an RPV

Take a closer look at the wing-tips mate (they're not fuel tanks) ;)

Edit:

Not a parasite project and it is/was quite large!

The Beriev R-1?

You got mate :D

The Beriev R-1

Noyade has control :ok:

Thanks Trevor. Thanks for the clues. :)

I just kept thinking of a Yak-25 sized bomber. Nothing gelled, in fact I thought you were trying to tell me the wing-tips were reconnaissance pods. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Open house and a cup of coffee are the order of the day!

Cheers. :ok:

Open House, well here is another one. Well it is almost a silhouette:-
