Seems like I had a Matchbox model of one as a kid. Loved the design.

I saw one of these at an air show many years ago and the noise of it was phenomenal.

There was one at the Chino Planes of Fame air show one year a few years ago. Not sure how that came to pass, but I was surprised at how tiny it is.

Yep, it's a great fuel-to-noise converter!

For it's time (Mid-fifties!) it was a very advanced design, a delta able to do STOL on the Swedish improvised highway strips, but still capable of Mach 2.
The mirage III is a Mach-2 delta as well, but has double the landing speed!

Yes. I remember seeing footage of them doing annual training on taking off and landing from Swedish highways, many, many years ago. Such a great idea. :mixedsmi:

This one is a single seater. The two seater has a periscope centered on the top for the GIB to see forward.
