I believe it was Greycap, but with a hidden picture.

Try this one for now.
 
Looks like a Breguet Br.693 to me.
 
Yep, another version was the 695 which had P&W Twin Wasp Junior radials.

For a new plane, here goes...

Err, anyone? Or is it another confirmed kill for me?

The only planes I'm likely to guess are fighter jets from the last decade or 3 up to now. Migs, and Su's and the stuff.
 
And I have about the same Airplane knowledge as The Stig.
 
Sorry, is that the Breguet 695 described, or a new plane?

Here is a picture, if not:

It's a new plane, the text may have been a bit misleading. I'll correct it.

And that's a Nakajima Ki-44 Shoki "Tojo". Probably the -IIc version of it, judging by the cannon barrels. ;)
 
Well, no. This is more of the Bf110 class, the Albemarle was some seven metres bigger both in length and span, not to mention almost twice as heavy.
 
out of idle curiosity what type of jets do the vietnamese and thai airforce use?
 
Do you mean currently, or in any of the conflicts in which they participated?

The Vietnamese flew MiG-15s and other Russian-built jets in the respective war, but today, I think they fly imported models of the Su-27 Flanker (Su-30MKI). I'll check and update.

Update: They do. The Royal Thai Air Force flies F-16s and F-5s, Lear jets being reconnaissance planes.

Potez 632?

Close enough. It's the fighter variant 630/631 instead of the dive bomber 632 that looks just about similar. The level bomber 63.11 wouldn't have cut it. Your turn!
 
That was my next guess.

I have a feeling that this won't stump you, Greycap...
 
Lavochkin La-15?
 
Judging from the straight cut nose and the large wing fences it's an early(ish) MiG, the -15 and -17 had a straight jet nozzle and a shorter fuselage though so I'm putting my money on the more advanced -19.
 
That's what I was going to say.
 
I think Greycap's right. Damn it- that's one I might've been able to guess.
 
And there he goes! I thought that the angle and lack of recognizable landmarks could fool you... the MiG-19 is larger than the 'Fagot' or the 'Fresco', but apparently there are other subtler differences.

Your go.
 
Actually the size itself was a good clue, it doesn't look as out of proportions as the "Fagot" which was aesthetically way too short. The jet exhaust was the biggest help though.

Whoever wants to have the next one, feel free to. I'm out of ideas.
 
Something in it says Aermacchi at the first look... but the rest says no. Something screams Supermarine but it's not that either. I'm 99.5% certain it's a BAC (Hunting Percival) Jet Provost but let's give others a chance too!
 
The nose isn't "pointy" enough for an Aermacchi.
I'm thinking Hawker...

British Aerospace Strikemaster?
Canadair CL-13 Tebuan?
