I think I'm letting the perceived colour scheme influence me too much, so I'll have another wrong guess - Supermatine Attacker?!

You can't beat a bit of influencing ....the colour is correct for the plane its sprayed on (yeah, I know...really helpfull !), but sorry matey, its not an Attacker

Its a single seat tail dragger with a three bladed prop.

If its any consolation, my head has been soo damn scratched trying to remember where I'd seen those faired over gunports....I'm now just about bald !. that was good one Glenn as the curvature on the nose section is quite steep compared to 'normal' sized jets !.

Right chaps, an easy one !....yeah righty !!!

Yep, reckon Norab has it...possibly the airworthy Tempest mk.II.

I realised after my last guess (P-47) that the clue was that it has a 3 blade prop. Doesn't seem to fit the Tempest (or P-47).

Gary...is it something from cockpit-fest? I just don't like the way the front of the windscreen is riveted to the fuse...who does that? Would make for a drafty cockpit!

Sorry Aaron, its not a '51.

Its not an amatuer renovation or reconstruction....thats how they made them, honest !!

I'll give you some more clues, it looks fairly similar to the DH Chipmunk....very slim, and it was designed for low altitude work, and had fixed machine guns (Brownings) and it didn't really need a prepared runway to operate from.

I think I know what it is, but blowed if I can remember the manufacturer - former Yugoslavia I think, perhaps Sokol ? There was one on the UK air show circuit about 20 years ago.

Classic !!!. Methinks we need to start a thread of 'sayings'. David, you'll be pleased to note its not a Microwave

Yup, but I didn't want to say so straight off,

Following Airframe's clue, Soko 522?

Its not a SOKO 522 but you were soo very close !

I think the name of the thingy you is thinking of is Kraguj...and nope, I have absolutely no friggin idea whether you pronounce it or sneeze it !!. However mate, you are correct. It is in fact a Soko J-20 Kraguj. One of a handfull of survivors and quite a pretty little looking thing. Hard to image going on the oiffensive in one of these allthough she could be equppied with rockets and could drop a few bombs if needed.
