:ymapplause: Australian indeed - but not necessarily designed for transporting cattle - it may have been used for that task though!

That'll teach me to tell you it was used as an engine testbed role similar to the Vulcan! :p

Here are some other images of it in the test role and in anniversary colours.

Well, due to the starboard wing I think I
see out the pilot's window, I think we
may assume it is a JET-powered aircraft.

Two-holer?

Or just really teensy props?

Bizjet of some kind?

Or additional LSD?
