Somehow sounds like Bartini-Beriev postwar projects, but cannot find a good picture. T-117 Kit (Whale) of 1947 could be one, and we consider the monstrous VVA-14 as a follow-up.
Pretty far a cry, but that's what explain your reaction to flying boat

Hi Reg,
i would forget the reference to flying boat completely. It is none of the above. Look for a more well known manufacturer, not normally associated with transoprts.. RR

What a complete failure to use wits and tools, both freely available ![Sad](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/puppy_dog_eyes.gif)
How many times I went by Sukhoi and a source of a multitude of pictures, including the one from where yours was taken. And the ends just stayed lose.

That's the one mate, the Bell-X5
The first practical true swing-wing aircraft!

I was going to say that for someone who claimed to know "Jack ****" about cockpits, you did pretty well on the Patsy, but not so good when you posted this one's cockpit
(but I haven't found one yet either)!!
Noyade has control![Thumb](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/thumbs.gif)
Well. half hour elapsed, probably asleep by now, so it would be the ideal time to tiptoe into his room with a fooball rattle and bloody well get your own back mate
