Yep. Thought it may be easy.



Perhaps I should have used this clue?

OK, here's an easy-ish one, as my connection problem prevents me from searching far in my files whilst on-line.

Not a Victor, but I can see why you thought so.

OK, it's a jet, in service with a number of countries, from the early 1950s until the 1960s.

Hmm. Quite a few more views, but no attempts. Maybe this is a bit harder than I anticipated when posting. OK, another clue - it's single-engined, and takes its name from a much older weapon ......

Still no answers? OK, here's a bit more of it, from a different angle - this should give it away.

Not an AN-2 - it's a jet fighter, and not Russian.

Norab has it. It's a F-86A Sabre, with the early 'split' screen. Here's the full views of the two shots posted, and the full aircraft. This example is at the Midland Air Museum, Coventry, UK and has just been signed over by the IWM as a permanent exhibit. It will be re-painted in the near future.
