Mystery plane

. . .
So many european countries to guess from but not many can design aircraft like that. France perhaps. Its just wild guesses at this point.
 
. . . .
@Nilgiri is it made by Saab?Sweden?

Look like RR engines,has to be Swedish.
60's Saab?

Bingo! 50s SAAB...Now tell me the model no (its a missing number in the series hehe....because the project was canned).

BTW the model in the picture was an original wind tunnel model.

@T-123456 the engines are indeed RR...but back when they were under Bristol. Olympus engines, same as found on the vulcan bomber.
 
. . .
Then,it can only be an Avro 73+_


By the look.

Nope its a Saab. (just need the number)

My next clue was going to be....a country that once had a nuclear weapons program (and this was the delivery aircraft for it). Both (weapons program and the aircraft) got canned...as Sweden decided to go all in with the Viggen a/c development instead.

Yeah I already know hehe....just asking if any others know. ;)

Anyways here it is (Saab 36):

The wind tunnel model can be found in the Swedish AF museum in Linköping @war&peace @A.P. Richelieu @Mage

There was a fuselage engine variant as well:

It being the Saab 36...is the explanation of the "mystery" in there being no final aircraft between the Saab 35 (draken) and Saab 37 (viggen)
