You turn!

[sniperton]

This one should be easy  A real beauty 

[Oscarito]

Wow, interesting! The nose is strongly reminiscent of my uncle Isaac...

[Gatrasz]

I don't even know what it is but...I already love this plane !

[SAS~Bombsaway]

As long as it doesnt sneeze we're ok.

That's a Short Sturgeon torpedo bomber.

[sniperton]

Fairly close, but not fully correct. The Short Sturgeon had a long development history, this one representing the final stage, when it was re-designed as an ASW aircraft (S.B.3), where the "major modification was the grafting on of a gigantic bulbous nose that housed two radar operators in stations forward of the engines and the radar itself, below". For comparison, a "normal" Sturgeon looked like this:

A really hard one
This led me to study.
Begins by following the track of some prototype of the SU-7 ... None has the wings in delta.
I thought it could be a prototype prototype model of MiG-21 ... but none have that tail and drop cokpit.
I finally found the Yak-1000
