Now I will precede to talk about this aircraft. This is a French close air support jet naval attacker, based mostly upon the SO. 8000 Narval. It's probably powered by a British centrifugal engine. I'll upload the original drawing if I have it soon ish (say in a few days).

The image above is probably one flying during the Suez Crisis.

I wish I had more to say about it, but it's a pretty simple design. My next post will likely be a challenge build.
