Oh hey, yeah, I see what you mean! How cool...  I didn't notice that at first. 

The same for me: now I see the canard foreplanes, that I did not notice at first glance... Congratulations, double!

We, at Aeroplane Monthly now have a name for this strange craft.....'The Manx'....as in...a tailless cat.
We hope it flies as great as it looks?

  Wonderful!

Fabulous.  The spatted nose wheel combined with the canard foreplanes and the shape of the fuselage gives it a squid like appearance.

IT FLIES....BY GOD....IT FLIES!!

The Editor.

[Tophe]

Great! And do you say that God is the pilot?

[zenrat]

No, he's in the back seat, that's his eldest at the controls...

[TheChronicOne]

That is TOO COOL.   

[McColm]

That's very good

That shot makes her look like some kind of giant Manta Ray or similar. Great stuff

Based on the Javelin, the Photo/Recon Iklwa was used by NATO watching the borders of the Eastern Block. Seen here, on a training exercise over 'The Rock' in the late 1950's.

Good!
How do you classify it? Not a pure delta but a tailless flying wing? (Vought Cutlass like?)
