Photo Comment

This prototype of the Fencer was initially intended to be STOL capable by including two afterburning turbojets for cruise and four turbojets for STOL performance. However this configuration proved to be impracticable and was subsequently abandoned. This plane was previously '61 blue' and is on display at the Central Museum of the Air Forces at Monino.
