Then at a guess I would have to say the SAAB 21

I believe that one is the jet version but yes its a Saab 21, one of my favorite aircraft.

Your up!

It looks like a Fouga Magister and a Vampire had children :wink:

OK, helicopter this time. This one l saw on the way to busting my ankle and thought as unusual looking. It has a very narrow front aspect, reminds me of a cobra and the dual rotor set up.

I was meaning to check up about it, but hospital got in the way. What better than to ask mudspike for their input.

Always find it interesting to come across threads that were hot for quite some time and then just die for no apparent reason.

I miss this thread being hot…

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

@fearlessfrog has asked for a Random Aircraft quiz.

Let me check that @wxbot is still alive or not. It’s been a while…

Yeah, the bot is nice that it is (semi) random, but man alive does it grab some obscure ones. I’ll do another. To do one just put the text

 [RandomAircraft]

…and it’ll try fetch one from Wikipedia and replace the post. If it doesn’t work, just delete and retry (sometimes the image grab is a bit flaky)

Technically its a Twin Bee, but since that’s a conversion I’d still give it to ya.

You are right. It did look a bit weird with the two engines.
