Yellow = British ?
I though that might confuse :E, but it's not British

Trevor, is it the F+W N.20.2 Arbalete? Seems to fit the clues nicely.

If so will have to be Open House.

Evening Ken,

You're correct (as usual :)); it is the F+W N.20.2 Arbalete :D A partial scale test vehicle for the Aiguillon jet fighter (which has appeared on SC a while ago, but quite different in many aspects)

Seems to fit the clues nicely
The one engine shown (with ghost intake) under the wing, was in reality mirrored onto the top of the wing too. The Alarm bells from an ambulance with a Red Cross, with colours inverted to form the Swiss Roundel on the tail :)

skytrain10 has requested an Open House :ok:

Rotary or fixed wing?

Lightning Mate 3rd March 2012 21:27

Fixed wing.

Harley Quinn 3rd March 2012 21:38

So not a propulsion engine exhaust, some kind of APU?

Lightning Mate 4th March 2012 15:58

An APU 'tis.:)

Lightning Mate 4th March 2012 20:41

Please take the thread. :D

First thought was something like the Northrop YA-9, but then realised that those boundary bleed holes in the lower pic were characteristic of fast pointy things designed in the fifties. Guessing Western Hemisphere; did it enter squadron service?

Century series era?

Noyade 5th March 2012 09:08

Avro Arrow?

Open House if it is.

evansb 5th March 2012 12:12

Noyade is correct. :ok: The AVRO Canada CF-105 Arrow.

As requested, it is OPEN HOUSE.

Lightning Mate 5th March 2012 12:44

Could this one float; and not 'fly' very high?

Lightning Mate 5th March 2012 13:21

Yep...........:ok:

safetypee 5th March 2012 13:30

Its an SRN ... something, or the USN big one.

OH as required.

I built a small one of these to ride on across the airfield; it went very well except when crossing a grilled storm drain - it lost all lift!

Lightning Mate 5th March 2012 13:34

A deal - it's the SRN4.

Open House has been requested.
