Reminded me of the Yugoslav mini jets.

So this must be:

Ikarus J-451MM Stršljen

[SAS~Storebror]

That's really close but sorry, no cigar

Best regards - Mike

Seems like overlooked something.
Let me try this one instead:

Ikarus T-451MM Stršljen II

[SAS~Storebror]

Now you got it

The Ikarus J-451MM Stršljen ("Hornet") was developed in 1956 as a planned close support variant of the S-451M Zolja and test flown in 1957 by the Aeronautical Testing Centre. The design featured a tricycle undercarriage as opposed to the early tail dragger designs, more powerful Turbomeca Marboré turbojet engines and armament of 2 x 20mm Hispano-Suiza 404A cannons under the fuselage along with underwing rockets.

The J-451MM lead to development of the Ikarus T-451MM Stršljen II ("Hornet II") single seat jet aerobatic training aircraft of which only one prototype (21002) was manufactured and this can be seen at the Belgrade Aeronautical Museum today.  Another variant was the Ikarus S-451MM Matica ("Queen Bee") two-seat jet training aircraft which set a world air speed record for its class of 750.34 km/h in 1957.

The plane resembles a "shrinked" Meteor to some degree.
Ironically there's no british parts involved, rather opposite: The engines used, the Turbomeca Palas 056A, were built under license by Blackburn and General Aircraft in U.K. later on, for instance to be used on the Short SB.4 Sherpa

Your turn
Best regards - Mike

[LameHawk]

OK - here we go.

An easy one this time.

[BalDaddy]

TSR2 innit

[SAS~Storebror]

Rather a Lancer me thinks

[LameHawk]

Right again, Storebror. All those cigars are going to damage your health. Your turn again.

It is the Lockheed CL-1200 Lancer.

A sort of upgraded Starfighter meant for the export market, but lost out to the F-5 in an international fighter aircraft competition in 1970. Programme terminated after that.

[SAS~Storebror]

Thanks Lamehawk.
The early Lancer by the way looks much nicer than the later derivate with squared intakes, just saying.

This is probably much too easy, nevertheless... what plane is it?

[stiv_069]

SU-9

[SAS~Storebror]

Absolutely correct stiv, your turn
