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

Try this one for now.
 
Yep, another version was the 695 which had P&W Twin Wasp Junior radials.

For a new plane, here goes...

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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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!
