Thanks Kitbag,

Let's see if this one fares any better! I doubt it will, but it's nice to keep things moving!

Not an idiot aviate, you've got the right part of the World, but the wrong aircraft!

That's the one Kitbag

The AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-kuo, although, according to wiki, where both you're image and mine appear, the cockpit is captioned as belonging to the F-CK-1 C/D Hsiang Sheng, which from the evidence of the red carpet and other clues is wrong!

Let's hope AIDC never produce a -U2 version as that would give serious concern to "net nanny" software trawling for naughty words

Kitbag has control

Right! That's it! I'm retiring!

Mel is quite right, it's the Buckmaster advanced trainer

Blind flying panel and spade grip make it seem British to me, screen frame makes me think of Blackburn Roc or Skua. I'll guess at Skua dive bomber, but don't have any idea if they can be differentiated
