Looks like it could also be a Chengdu J-7MF, a Chinese version of the MiG21. I'm only going by description.
Edited bit:
Just found a pic of the MiG Ye-8... that is a much better fit

Interesting guys! Didn't know that one. Took a look at aviarussia.ee
During 1961, the MiG OKB initiated work on an upgraded fighter based on the basic MiG-21PF airframe and referred to contemporaneously as the MiG-23. Assigned the OKB designation Ye-8, it featured a bifurcated ventral air intake for the R-21F engine, which, developed by N Metskhvarishvili, was rated at 4500kg and 7000kg with afterburning. A variable-incidence canard spanning 2.60m was fitted - this having been earlier tested by a Ye-6T - and it was proposed to install Sapfir 21 radar to accompany an armament of two K-13 AAMs. The first of two prototypes, the Ye-8/1, was flown on 17 April 1962, followed on 29 June by the Ye-8/2. On 11 September, the R-21F engine of the Ye-8/1 exploded at Mach=1.7 at 10000m. It was subsequently ascertained that the sixth compressor stage fan had penetrated the engine casing and had then continued on to destroy the starboard aileron. At this time, the Ye-8/2 had effected 13 flights, but the programme was abandoned.
Was it the first jet designed with canard wings?

Wow! Now I'm impressed guys, congrats.
Yes, the bird is Mikoyan Ye-8/1 also named MiG-23.To make the puzzle harder I've removed the Red Stars from wings and the fin,also its number on fuselage.The a/c should have been equipped with the Fire Control System S-23 but because of problems with the system and troubles with the R21F-300 engine the project was given up.

I can provide the answer to this one...
But I have no idea what this is, and would appreciate any input..

Never have seen that one. Man that looks like Blackburn, but can't find anything.

Close. Clue-What other aircraft competed for selection as the RAF's standard pilot trainer at the time?

Handley Page HPR2, they don't half look the same
That's the one!

Quite a few training aircraft designed at this time looked very similar. The CAC Winjeel is another:
Warbird Alley: Commonwealth CA-25 Winjeel

Wingnut, ex-CAC employee? Stop holding back and start posting some of your experiences! I'd like to see some threads on some remarkable CAC aircraft and their projects. Were you involved in the Wamira project? Was CAC still around then?
In the meantime two more to ponder..

The second is almost certainly Swiss probably a test bed with (another guess) a dart engine
the bottom one is Swiss. I can not remember the name of it. I saw one at the Sinsheim Museum here but I cant remember the name.
If the bottom is a Swiss one it must be Pilatus. 
A joke of course.
This is the Farner-Werke C-3605 Schlepp.The rest of info on the a/c there:
Federal Aircraft Factory C-3605 Schlepp - target-tug
In the first pic we can see Piaggio P.32.The link:
Piaggio P.32 - bomber

No ideas friends? Oh yes, it's good to have people to ask and wikipedia
It's a Ball-Bartoe JW-1 Jetwing, a 1970's research aircraft.
Oh, and I had an idea to make it more of a challenge: How about "he who knows the answer will give the next question"? Asking for hints is allowed of course.
Here's my next question:

Bravo! Well done Krabat! I thought that it was going to fall into the 'unsolvable' file again.
Yours?...(I like the AviaQuiz touch-still playing?) I'm thinking of a Fish, a Spear and a Fairey, but not in that order!
