Ahem… All Ah-what-was-this-again-let-me-see cozy elements in it, but then….
Smaller than first thought? (nose wheel???)
Variable geometry? (wing-tips)
????
Edit: Good morning buttrick! Didn't see you were back before posting (had dropped off-line for a while)

no VG, the dip in the TE is a deflected aileron.
You may have to think quite a way outside the box for this one.
There was a sister ship, (or the same fuseage ,not sure), with a delta wing.
And no not Sukhoi or MiG![Wibble](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/wibble.gif)

There seems to be something protruding from the right wing outer leading edge in the shadow which is not evident on the silhouette.
Am I correct?
It looks early 70s too.

The outriggers are there but un-silhouetted Mate…. Saw them there almost first…
Hold right there! Supersonic? Unmanned glomb?
On a second thought: did you say the SISTERship was a glider, too? No, I don't think so….. So, it may have had engines under the wings…..
