No nibbles in 26 hours. The plane is a McDonnell F3H Demon.

The Heinkel He.178 is regarded as the world's first jet aircraft. Which jet was second?

I’ll go with the gloster e28/39. The me262 is reported to have flown the month before but that was with piston engines with turbojets after the gloster.  
 

caproni was not a true turbojet so not like for like

You are right about the piston engine, Nev. The N.1 is given credit as the second jet on a number of websites, including Wikipedia and Planehistoria. The He.178 first flew 1 year earlier.

Yes Kaspar, I recall seeing a pic of an early 262 taking off with a prop out front. I presume the new jet engines were far from reliable.

Dreadful..  Can't see why it would even get past the drawing board stage.  Nev

Must have been a carton or two consumed in its initial design.

Photoshop, and a pretty bad photoshop at that. You can see where the cockpit has been at the nose, they could've at least rounded off the fuselage!

 

Eurofighter Typhoon, badly modified by a 16 yr old with a computer, and lots of time on his hands.

The fact that there are no intakes for the engines, but more seriously the CG must be about a metre behind the TE, are giveaways...
