Hi all,
came across this interesting looking machine from the manufacturers of great motorbikes. Is it just me or does anyone else notice Convair DNA?
Even the paintjob looks a little like classic TWA. :think:

Please someone tell me I'm not going bonkers!

Ooo pretty, I like it. Now who'd have thought a small island nation could develop their own modern ASuW/ASW aircraft and not have to refurbish some ancient converted airliner they had lying around..

No you're not going mad that's a fine aproximation of an 880 and the old TWA scheme!

Perhaps they should have painted it green. Then you'd know what it is!

Hope they do a '990' version, with the 'Kucheman Carrots' on the wing upper surfaces.

Prehaps Ito-San might be persuaded to build one
