Same as before, different angle?

Is the background Kalahari / Skeleton Coast?

Nice colour mate...getting in touch with your feminine side?

Well going the obvious route again, would this be another glider?

You are all too kind and thank you for the wonderful accolades.

The desert is not the challenge.

It's not another glider or anything else mentioned.

Nice colours though innit.....!!!! Matches me lipstick.

Thought you'd nodded off there David.

No signs of any props, so a jet, engines integral, maybe at the wing root or in the fuselage. Also quite a wingspan so maybe something for high altitude?

Good morning everybody.

There is a single propeller at the front which did not edit well in Photoshop.

It is on the web.

Good morning, Sir.

No, the desert is not part of the challenge, was interested in it in general.

Propeller, tjah.... Wasted all morning looking for research/spy aircraft with an ELINT dome on both ends...... Wing shape didn't match the dating of possible domes, though .

If it flew over me I would just say a PA-28 or a 'Worrier'... Although its probably far more obscure.
