Correct,Graeme. It is the Aermacchi/Yak-130.

Thanks Terrence. Lots of offshoots from those Russian trainers from the nineties?
Anyway, onwards...

Gnat F, perhaps?
Edit: although it looks quite jugoslav!

When I first looked my initial thought was an Etendard or Super Etendard. However neither has that kind of curvature to the front cockpit window.
You could be right on Yugoslavia Martin - coffee break soon so I'll take a closer look.

How about a Grumman F-11 Tiger?

I guess it depends on how accurately the artist has 'captured' the subject? A bigger piece of canvas...

I believe the Dog with the razor-sharp Sabre has sliced another challenge.

Indeed SD has it, though my ref has it as Yak 9 it sems this feature was present across the range of piston engine Yaks.

Sorry Harley, I googled Yak-3, saw the "holes" and immediately thought the Sabre wielding Dog has struck again.
Is it too late to say Yak-9 now?...

Reason: Looking closer now - there are differences.

I'd let it go, like I said this aperture seems to feature across most Yak fighters

Terrance, you're a winner with the Yak 3 > 9. You have control....

I've convinced myself this is a 7 cyl radial, but I've never seen such a tight cowling.
Maybe I'm just a numpty?

I think you are right that it is a 7 cly. radial Harley.
Pobjoy Pirate?

Gents.
Too slow...
Looked at the Pirate earlier, but couldn't find a front view. Found one of the Kittiwake, but it's "dimpleless"...

I looked at the Freuller Vals MA, which also has the dimple features, but still looks more like the Pirate.
