There are reports of it having flown. Are any details known?

Don't have any details on it, but I must say that it looks interesting!

I guess this plane answers the question as to what happens when you cross one of the West's most popular turboprops (the Dash-8), with the East's (An-24)... :D
Don't have real good photos yet, but it looks like an An-24 with Dash-8 wings/engines.

Basically An-24 with different window arrangement and PW engines... Looks like they did some work on the nose angle too
