I just thought your fat donut was still too lazy to change the picture name, like it was at the beginning of the thread, dork.

looks like a Martin-Baker MB 3, I can't really tell if it had a tear drop canopy or bulged hood from the quality of the photo.  If it's tear drop then it's a MB 4.

aww.. gian beat me.

I went modern on this one, should be pretty easy, but I've never heard of one of these before:
Skifurd AKA "Bosco"
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Operator
United States Marine

Canberra PR.9 :D

Late PR version of the RAF's first jet bomber.  Held quite a few records too.

America;s B-57 was based on it.

Pretty sure it is a 9, the 20 was the Aussie version of the B.2?

Probably a WWII squadron mess song, tons like that.  Would help with aircraft recognition too.
