Country:  | 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.

Country:  | 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. "

Country: | 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.

Country: | 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.
