Are there many other planes with this design of airframe? I recall seeing a plane similar to this in the air in the mid 70s (in the UK).

It stuck with me as it was unlike any plane I'd seen before, or since, until recently a drone passed overhead which had a similar construction.

Either a de Havilland Vampire or a Cessna skymaster perhaps?

Oops! The "Thank you" below was meant for you. (Dodgy 3rd party mobile app, honest!)

Looking again, I'm going with de Havilland Vampire as the most likely candidate.

It's not an uncommon design for modern VTOL UAVs that can transition into single motor forward flight on wings. The twin boom design supports a quadcopter lift system. This is a Chinese airframe manufacturer, people add their own motors and electronics.

Thanks, yes, a couple of those look about right in terms of design and scale. Pretty sure it was military rather than private though.

Thank you.
