I agree with Tim Inder. No need for the question mark it is without doubt the
Yakovlev Yak-141 "Freestyle".

Not seen you on line recently hope all is well

Tim and Mel, thanks. I'm no expert, so I couldn't be certain.

Could we move to a new pic while waiting for BEagle's verdict?

Mike, that looks like an expresso machine handle. I'd say the aircraft is definitely Italian.

It was indeed the Yak 141!

Never have so many car alarms gone off simultaneously as they did during its Farnborough display!

That new one looks to have had rather a cosy flight deck!

Thanks, BEagle.

LOL, pigboat. Not Italian, though it comes from a country of coffee drinkers.

Frank Sinatra loved to sing that "they've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil,"

Wild guess, could this be an early Embraer Aircraft? Perhaps the EMB 100?

Sorry Mel, wrong continent. Much earlier than the EMB-100.

The French also like their coffee, Hurel-Dubois HD-31 or HD-32?

Not American. Not from the '20s.

Fokker F.XII?

The C-46E is proceeding apace, Ms. cringe. I've actually figured out how to cut off the nose and fabricate the stepped windshield!

That's great to hear, pigboat. Looking forward to see the result.

It's not the Fokker XII, but you got the country right. The two types were used by the same airline.

Not a trimotor. F7 is too early as well.
