G'day Brian. :)

Nice score with the X-3 mate. Good challenge Karl, had me hopping around and thinking it looked as big as a Fiddler.

Now, I think this really is large - The PZL-Mielec M-15 Belphegor?

Yes, Noyade, you are correct:ok: The jet powered PZL M-15. Your turn.

Thanks Brian. Would have been an interesting machine see and hear.

So would've this thing...

The truth is out there:

Model of the Avro Canada VZ-9 Avrocar (your subject and which did work sort of) and a larger vertical rising disc aircraft intended to be a supersonic fighter.

If correct OH

Well done mate. :ok:

In a steep climb...;)

Hawker Hurricane?

Lately they've been French orientated mate.

Could this be French as well?

Are we looking at a London football team?

Not an Arsenal, or any other French, product this time.
Not a Hurricane but related......

Is it a Hawker Hillson F.40 slip wing? Or possibly a Hawker Henley modification?

It is. Test bed for the Rolls Royce Vulture engine. Karlark has control.

Thanks one11. Is the intake off-center on that aircraft? Or is it just me :)

http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i.../2012/29-1.jpg

Great challenge. Next one coming up...

Here is the next challenge:

Kudos for finding that Karl. :ok:

Your latest - a Cold War Warrior?

'morning Graeme.

Well, sort of. More like a Cold War trainer. In use 1960's until year 2000.

G'day Karl. :)
Is the horizontal stabiliser further up the vertical fin - early MiG style?

All the way to the top! :)

Thanks mate.

Canadair CL-41 Tutor? But then, should the air-brakes be further back?

Can't quite work out what that "lump" is above the starboard air-brake and why that air-brake appears to have a triangular "hole" in it?

Is the aircraft slightly to starboard and we're seeing part of the cockpit?

That is the one. :ok: Your control.

I can't quite work out what the bumps are on the fuselage... they look like they are further back from the cockpit just in front of the air brake. I bet someone here will let us know. :)

Unbeknown to me, I posted what appears to be the CL-41 "R" version which would account for the lumpy fuselage:

Still your control Noyade :)

Thanks Karl. Interesting.
I have only a couple of exhaust stubs to consider...

Clue
 

Shorts-built version of the Embraer Tucano

Evening Doug. Yours again. :ok:

Possibly taking the "intake" theme to extremes.......



http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/u...une121212i.jpg

I don't think so mate, I'm happy to play. I'm sure you will be generous with the clues. :)

Speaking of which...
A Clark drawing, so very likely British?
Cabin Air. For passengers or just the crew?
Looked at some of his WW2 aircraft drawings, but there is a possibility it's a civil aircraft?
What are the letters missing from ....."ANTS"....?

That'll do mate. :)

Cheers. Don't wait up.

Evening/ G'day Graeme...you're heading in the right direction, ANTS is the back end of PLANTS

Post war transport with the useless TKS anti-icing on the leading edge.
Hermes or Viking.
I understand the T.K.S. system has improved greatly since my day
