Very good sir! (And I don't need to post the picture!) Yes it is indeed the much maligned SARO Lerwick with a modified tail. I can only assume it was done in an attempt to improve flight and maybe even water handling characteristics, which if I remember correctly, where always dicey. Now if I could get someone to make an injection molded 1/72 kit that I can buy and leave unbuilt until my death I would be happy. The field is yours!

Looked it up, Hammer HH-1 Zipper. Was airworthy until 2007. Only has one seat though. Kinda reminds you of the Me162 except for the V tail.

That's the one Aaron, your control.

Interesting information above. I have it as definitely a two-seater or certainly intended to be and it was destroyed on August 15 1979 while Hunt was indulging in aerobatics over Pugent Sound, just offshore from Paine Airfield.
