An Allen Paulson project?
G'day Ken and lurkers!
You look all alone mate? Are you home or still jetting around the world?
What year/time-period are we looking at here Ken?
I've got a couple of their albums.

Good morning skytrain 
I thought it worth a look on "Fright Archive" !!
Century Aviation's Century Jet of 1996
raytheon aircraft | 1996 | 2107 | Flight Archive Jet
Couldn't get back yesterday, too busy preparing for a business trip, I will be away for a couple of days and may not have connectivity, so open house please when confirmed! PS. No jumping-the-gun gentlemen (especially newby's), checkout the guidelines under the sticky on the AH&N mainpage (link below)

Morning Sinco,
Got it in one Trevor. Yes this was the 1996 design for the Century Jet, which has taken different forms since. The company was set up by Bill Northrop.
SincoTC has declared Open House
And Graeme...sorry missed your message, I had shut down by then! Hope all is well mate?

Very very shrewd challenge . The reason I asked the language was that it was difficult for me to believe that a single-engine dorsal air intake would have gone completely unnoticed, if it would have been said in any form in English…..
****
And, I am truly sorry if I invoked a wave of gun-jumping with my careless half-in-the-sleep mishap the other day.
For "newbies", which I was in the not-so-distant past:
This is a relatively rapid paced thread (silhouette Challenge, SC) as compared to the two other challenge threads (What Cockpit, WC, and Which Aerodrome, WA) and rather competitive, in a great spirit. There are two principles that come from this:
1. You monitor the thread when you play: If you post a challenge, you make sure that you give feedback and follow the challenge up in a reasonable time frame. If you win, you either post expediently a new challenge or declare Open House (OH). You can declare an OH conditionally ("if correct, OH") to make sure that the game can go on.
2. One challenge at the time. Your right to post a challenge starts only when the previous challenge has been called to the winner by the challenge poster.
This is great fun!

It is!
Designed in the early 1930s, the H3K1 was already phased out of service by the mid-1930s. Five examples were built under license from an English design based on thr Short Rangoon, using components mostly acquired from England, including the three imported 825hp Rolls-Royce Buzzard engines that each aircraft used. Experience with this design helped Kawanishi in later years when they manufactured the large H6K and H8K flying boats that were used extensively during the war. At the beginning of the war, however, lack of intelligence on the H3K led the Allies to believe that it was still in service, and so it was assigned the codename "Belle".
