WTF is this.. (the green one)


I think it's Nato but I would like to know more.
One of my pals collects them, proper yampy he is. :D

I think he has small penile issues, likes to sit on the tail and grin

May have been experimental. There are no wing stubs on the fuselage, so having a RAM jet strapped to it would just make it spin. Looks like an early version of what was called "the Flying Crowbar" http://www.merkle.com/pluto/pluto.html

Indeed, but even that Crowbar has fins for guidance, the mystery ordinance has nothing unless it's rocket powered?, but then why the ramjet?, or is it some sort of jettison when fired charger for the hydraulics or a generator?. As a guy who sells old aircraft parts and buys the odd lot of military surplus it looks to me like a creative way to get rid of a bunch of useless orphan junk, movie guys eat that shit up :P


Maybe missile collectors do too?

:D Too bad you're on the other side of the country... I always wanted a wing for a desk. And I know about Motoart... I ain't paying those prices!
