OK, another clue.
An earlier aircraft from the same company had hoped to be a real destroyer, but when action came, it was found lacking.

Post-war advanced trainer. With a 1250 hp Merlin 35, so a pretty lively sort of trainer, I would have thought.

Yep, not a bad turn of speed for a trainer - max 288 mph at 9,000 feet.
Here's another view of it.

The description, and that particular shade of green, are making me think east European, maybe Yak, Petlyakov or Zlinn.

"Yak, Petlyakov or Zlinn"...sound like a lawyer firm !

Alas nope.

Possible give away clue...it has a hatch that if it comes open in flight, renders the A/C uncontrollable !
