Lame,

I posted the Kettering Bug as a hint to the original quest.
The original plane is this:

Excellent job Loco!!!!!!!

Your turn my man!

[locopiston]

tanks!

guess this business fighter!

Shot in the dark here  - does this have anything to do with the L-29 design?

[locopiston]

Theoretically it is on the other side of the wall, a few years before ...

But looking for better information, I think I fall in a hoax. 

the base plane is this (with more than one ascertainable photo):

something smaller and innocent than the L-29

After doing some research, I found that the first picture is just an elaborate but well done photoshop. Your second picture is more accurate to the quest.

The cabin/engine arrangement of that photoshop job would be problematical.  I'll keep the guesses coming - is this from a NATO country?

[locopiston]

Yes is from NATO country.
Is from a country that originally belonged, then left in 1966 and returned in 2009.

I just want to say how awesome it is that this topic has gone on so long with so many interesting aircraft that I'd never heard of!

[sniperton]

It's fairly easy now that the country of origin has been hinted at. It's a light trainer, it's a jet, it's French, and it's seems to be from the 1950s. It's the F-WGVR prototype of the SIPA S.300 shown in 1955 and crashed later that year.

I have participated in aviation quizzes for some twenty years - and I am still amazed at the number of aircraft I have never seen before
