could it be the subsonex?

Lightning Mate 29th February 2012 13:42

No Trucky - I'm afraid it's not.

This looks more turbofan than turbojet, perhaps one of the small Williams units, no idea what the airframe is though (yet) :confused:

Time to help this one along.

Try UAV.

Evening LM :),

Is it the Meggitt Jet Banshee Target Drone ??

Off home now, will check back later.

Lightning Mate 2nd March 2012 07:16

Apologies for my absence.


Is it the Meggitt Jet Banshee Target Drone ??

It sure is. :ok:

You have control.

Here's the next little sucker!

Am I looking at an under belly slung turbojet and from the rear? Cant make out the second orifice above the main.

SincoTC 2nd March 2012 12:35

Hi Trucky,

It is a turbojet, but that's the wing it's under, not the belly!

The second orifice, is in fact the glossy yellow paint-job acting as a mirror, but this is also a bit of a clue to the reality :)

Lightning Mate 2nd March 2012 14:15

I wonder where you've been lately TC....

Is this thing manned?

SincoTC 2nd March 2012 14:31

A'rtnoon David,

Just been very busy here with the final stages of occupying the new building and reworking the old, plus more new employees to bring up to speed and moving an important project from prototype to production along with its documentation and advertising campaign :ooh::)

My challenge was manned.

Edit: Sorry Trucky, I missed a point in your last post, it's viewed from the front (in my defence, I did say when I posted it that it was a little sucker :))

Lightning Mate 2nd March 2012 14:36

A trainer then?

trucky04 2nd March 2012 14:41

Yeah, yellow, sucking?? I need a drink of water???

SincoTC 2nd March 2012 14:41

Not a trainer, a single seater!

Lightning Mate 2nd March 2012 14:42


but that's the wing it's under, not the belly!

Must be a twin then.

SincoTC 2nd March 2012 14:44


Yeah, yellow, sucking?? I need a drink of water???
I'm having a coffee right now :)


Must be a twin then
Nope, more than that!

Lightning Mate 2nd March 2012 14:49

Then maybe an American experimental job.....

trucky04 2nd March 2012 14:57

I heard alarm bells going when I read 'yellow paint work', just like the alarm bells of a fire??

SincoTC 2nd March 2012 14:59


Then maybe an American experimental job.....
Experimental, well sort of, it was an aerodynamic proof of concept prototype, but not American.

Edit: No fire involved Trucky, but alarm bells would be appropriate in an inverted sort of way ;)

Lightning Mate 2nd March 2012 15:13

Going home now mate, so a final shot.

Yellow = British ?
