Been reading the aviation usenet newsgroup and this picture seems to have everyone stumped as to what it is. Can anyone identify it?

Got me stumped... reminds me of a Swedish type (perhaps the Lufwaffe captured/evaluated it?) but which I can't recall... If the experts can't id it this afternoon, I'll have a flick through a book tonight, see if I can spot it. :confused:

By the way the rudder's falling off, and the general tattyness, I'd say it's a movie mock-up of a 'typical aeroplane'. :hmm:

Air Warfare Forum nailed it a few months back.
Can't remember the details, but other pix were produced for a match.
It was a real a/c, the rudder's not falling off, that's the angle of dangle. :}
Vague memory it were Eastern Uropeen. Too tired to search now.

Also the canopy, wings and tailplane look a bit Yakkish... but not that fin and rudder!
Not surprised you're tired James, shouldn't you be in bed? :p

I was thinking Lavochkin La-5F, but according to JDK's source it is a Renard R-37.

It is a Renard R-36 with a Hispano-Suiza engine,
