Twin-Hunter

[Tophe]

Maybe I have found a plan of the tailless Twin-Hunter (below). The tailplane disappearance is confirmed, for the fin we cannot know as this is just a silhouette from above.

The investigation about the tailless Twin-Hunter seems more and more complicated, because from the Hawker archives, here comes a (longer?) version with 2 fins and zero tailplane, so it seems there were many different versions:

There was also a slightly asymmetric single-seat version of the Twin-Hunter:

Of course there was also a zero seat version of the Twin-Hunter, remotely controlled:

A version of Twin-Hunter was proposed, like a P-38; with a central engineless pod and lateral booms with engines:

A more simple version (cheaper) was this one, for the Twin-Hunter "Mk.38":

Uh maybe I should ask my (13-year old) son knowing Internet better than me, but: what is the meaning of sunglasses? like protecting from a flash vision? meaning "wow!" ?
Uh, answering that, I can put the mouse on the icon in the list, and the answer seems: "cool".
So (I understand now and I say): double thanks!

There were serious discussions about the Twin-Hunter looking like P-38; "yes, 2 tails are good to improve control, but 2 noses would be useful also for 3D stereoscopic radar!" and this was taken into account:

There was also a (long range) Twin-Hunter with tandem wings:

I am not the only one to draw Twin-Huners, some true (and talented) artists do the same too:

This good photograph of in flight Twin-Hunter seems taken from an air-refueler but I see no refueling device on the Twin-Hunter so I do not understand:
