I dunno, y'all, it doesn't look Russian to me. (Like I'm a big expert on jets or something. 
) Even if it is, there are a couple instruments there that give me the impression that this is a twin engine jet, as previously hinted by JDK.
I was thinkin' Hawker Hunter, but it doesn't have two engines.
He mentioned "Don't mention the war," but heck.....around here, just about any war that had jets in it could be controversial. (eyes rolling again) So that's not much of a hint.
I don't see a mach meter, and the airspeed indicator shows that it's not really all that much of a hot rod, as far as twin engine jets are concerned. Right???
I don't know if any of that helps y'all......it sure hasn't helped me much.

Hispano HA-200 as a final guess !!!

Definitely a Hispano Saeta.

I'll second DB2's guess.
I certainly didn't think of it myself, but googling the cockpit of a Hispano Saeta it appears to be a very similar cockpit.

Apologies for the delay, I was (amazingly) out working.
Well, all of Gary's analysis is correct, but maybe a bit tentative in drawing conclusions! (The big clues are twin engined jet from the instrumentation, and no Mach meter indicating a straight wing jet.) The war we must not mention is, of course dealing with Germans post W.W.II (Ref Basil in Fawlty Towers) and is a reference to the designer of the aircraft, one Willy Messerschmitt.
So the correct answer, and warm feeling to lestweforget, is Hispano HA-200 Saeta (Dart).
No pony - thay're Jack's prizes.
Still up for grabs is whose Saeta...

To be honest, it was the "don't mention the war " hint that made it click with me. Will probably be the only time I beat anyone to the punch again, so I am definately savouring my warm feeling!!!

Hopefully not the same warm feelings that Ruprect the monkey boy (Steve Martin) had in 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels'

So whose Seata is it?
