The GAF Jindivik is a target drone produced by the Australian Government Aircraft Factory (GAF). The name is from an Aboriginal Australian word meaning the hunted one. Two manned prototypes were built as GAF Pikas (Project C) as a proof of concept to test the aerodynamics engine and radio control systems serialled A92-1-2 'B-1-2'. The unmanned variant was initially designated the Project B and received serials in the A93 series. Pika is an Aboriginal Australian word meaning flier.

very air station 2 weeks ago! Had no idea that it was an RAE base
though biggrin.1
