Not a Maggie, not rare enough. Another clue, Guy Gibson flew the actual aircraft I photographed and it was considered unconventional for its time.

Off to bed now, nighty night.

Ah! Think you might have it there Glenn. Forgot about that one - a tri-cycle undercart trainer, unconventional for the time.

WOW! Top job Glenn! And Niel, that head gear old Hoot is wearing is a TEN GALLON HAT if I ever saw one.

Hmmm... a boundary layer splitter plate, high transonic speeds...

Do we get a hint of whether the pic is properly oriented orthogonally?

L-39 Albatros or A-4 Skyhawk?

I think it's an air intake on a radial engine craft like an Otter.

The picture is oriented correctly, taken from the front left side of the Aircraft.

It's not a L-39, A-4, U-2, or Otter.

It is Jet powered.
