I looked at Miles, Percival and De Havilland monoplanes and couldn’t find one with that shape of cooling air intake.
(It’s a holiday in the US today so I free to amuse myself at home before the eating starts)
Going by the looks of the nose i would guess a dehaviland.
Any ideas on this one? From EGHP approx 2014 or 2015. Can’t remember anything else about it.
Some of them had cameras in the nose, hence the look. They were called the “anteaters”.
The nose looks funny on OP‘s image. Maybe a special version?
If you intend to buy some, contact the austrian military. Around 40 were originally bought, 20 were decommissioned at the end of 2020 (after 50 years of service).

SAAB did plan to also market it as a bizjet.
Cool! Where do I sign up? Normally would go for L39, but my wife doesn’t like tandem seating :)

Indeed. And if we believe the above picture, all maintenance can be made by the pilots :D
Still used as the pilot trainer in the Swedish Air Force. Will be retired in a couple of years.
The pilots seem to really like it. They can be used as four seaters when the ejection seats are removed.
