It is an early prototype of the Dassault Ouragan. The material it was constructed of was too flimsy so, during its first flights, its intake was distorted into an oval shape and its elevators fell off completely. Also the rudder disappeared leaving it with a sharp, pointy, rudderless fin. Realizing it would be useless for military purposes after being so mutilated, the French painted it bright yellow in the hope that it would be spotted and shot down as quickly as possible so they could be rid of it. They shipped it off to several of their colonies, but all the enemy would do was stand there and laugh at the bright-yellow "war" plane. So it was quietly retired to the museum where the above photograph was taken.

OK...
 
that one was hard...

Would never have got it had i not stumbled upon one ages ago whilst browsing. Couldn't remeber its model number but knew the manufacturer.. so I could google it to find out!

I have no really obscure plane pics... Well none that hard anyway!
