Thanks for the link to the newspaper story. The Jane's link wouldn't work. Still plenty of questions .. few answers. A definite maybe pending more research.

Would love to know whether the replicas were exact replicas including the materials. Noticed what appears to be a king post for negative Gs in the photo. Doesn't seem like something that would appear in an early prototype, but maybe 21 was the 21st attempt.
