Thank you, MReyn24050!
I was pretty sure, with the stopwatches in my mind sealing it.

Here's one that I suspect will also go quite quickly

Morning The Late XV105 and welcome to the thread

A hurried coffee time stab and go!

I think that's an Aero L-39 Albatros ?

Thanks for the welcome!

I did say that I thought it would go quite quickly!
Well done.
It is a Aero-Vodochody L-39ZO Albatross of the Hungarian air force.



You have control SincoTC.

Initially I thought Su-29, but the coaming is the wrong shape. Further research reveals it to be a Yak-54

Well done Terrence! I thought the French placards might add some uncertainty, but they didn't fool you.

It is Brett Emeny's immaculate ex-Swiss Air Force T11, ZK-RVM


I took the photo while taxying for takeoff at Tauranga in February, for my second-ever Vampire flight, after a gap of over forty years. I mentioned to a friend that the cockpit seemed much more cramped than I remembered. He very charitably suggested that perhaps I was flying a 7/8ths scale Vampire.

You have control.

Very interesting aircraft. WWII Fighter or Fighter trainer possibly from the Axis powers?

Mel, you are correct in your assumptions.

Sorry,Sycamore, not the IL-2, and not Russian/Soviet.

The altimeter appears to be in feet. Is that an important clue?
