G'day Graeme,
Is this civil or military?
PT6 engines?
1960's-90's ?

Hmm, American?

Morning Trevor.
Not American comrade.
This machine is on SP but nothing secret about it. Well known to you.
Wiki says 8 built.
It did enter service.

It is indeed.
The prototype had the turboprops "connected" in the event of an engine failure. I doubt the production aircraft had this feature installed.
