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

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...

the Yak 36 Forger

Well done Harley. :ok:

Your control.

Yakovlev Yak 36

For those who prefer older aircraft:

Yakovlev Yak-3 ?

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?...:)

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....

Thank you, Graeme/Harley Quinn.

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. :)
