In the Telegraph on 03rd Sep 2009: (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/6135681/Glastonburys-Emily-Eavis-arrives-to-her-wedding-in-Cold-War-fighter-plane.html)
What Aircraft is it based on?
Until today I hadn't seen the d*mn*d article, but it has been driving on of my friends mad since it was published and he decided to ensure my Sunday was ruined by passing it along. Well he has ruined my day, I am Googled out of ideas and so I turn to the Gurus of PPRune who will probably provide the answer in 30 secs or less of this being posted and provide a dozen links and pictures.
But although two people will be humbled for our lack of ability, our sanity might be saved.

Looks like a collection of parts just attached to each other.

Parts from a MiG23 perhaps?

Thank you MReyn24050 for finding that more informative picture.
OK so it is something that escaped from Scrapheap Challenge. Which will now make three very relieved people (original two joined by an already demented third).

Wedding themed as scrapheap challenge?

Bad taste or what?

Ugh.
