| Yes Graeme, a mock up, wheeled out for a photo opportunity is exactly what it is. The question now is a mock up of what? I got this picture ready to email to you when the site was down, but as we're back.... edit to add, there is a clue in the picture.

 | My gut tells me this has something to do with the TFX project.

| He-162s "Looks like a mini-He162, but it was actually inspired by the Lockheed U-2. Two designers, Dick Hunt and Bob Hammer, recognised the potential of the U-2 for civilian purposes and hoped to provide a high altitude flying camera platform for photo/mapping missions. Planned to have a ceiling of around 60,000ft and a potential climb rate of 15,000ft/min, it incorporated the wings of a Teledyne Ryan 147 drone, the nose gear of Mooney Mk 21 and a Learjet 24 nacelle inlet ring, the Hunt HH-1 Zipper was described as an “unprecedented endeavour.” Sadly, it crashed on August 15 1979, killing Hunt and the project.

| Yes thats right, the Vought V-507 was their proposal for the VFX requirement and, surprisingly for me, was designed with a large amount of help from Dassault and data from the Mirage G. Which might explain its resemblance to the AFVG. Looks almost believable on the photo doesn't it.

Interesting site, thanks AMCKen. Another fascinating design, that ended in the death of the designer.  Australian...  | |

| If you're not going to tell us Graeme, do you mind if I stick a picure up? The annoying thing is I have seen that one before, or something very like it, but I have never known what it was called.
