Now it's starting to look very odd.

Why would it have a fish-mouth looking exhaust outlet?
The heat deflector - why so long?
Is there a similar exhaust on the port side?
Ventral rocket outlet below it?

Hmmm.....

That's the spirit! Unfortunately, not from me I think.

bit further west
I'm thinking Poland? And I can't get the MiG-19 outta me head. Did the Poles do something weird and wacky with one of their MiGs?

And that rocket...France would be more than a "bit" west, wouldn't it?

Hmmmm.....
