I didnt see those civillians. No then it realy cant be a ME-109. Or maybe those are british midgets standing next to it  

Still, the HE had 2 motors. But I dont see them. Where are they gone?  Look here for comparison

But maybe the full cockpit burned away together with the two motors!<span id='postcolor'>

thats a spannish heinkel 110 (dunno if its spelt right) with rolls royce engines<span id='postcolor'>

As far as i know the last Bf-109's in the spanish airforce were retired in 1969 (spanish bf-109's and he-111's were used in the film "The Battle of Britain").

Couldn't be easier, Sukhoi S-37 Berkut

[Albert Schweitzer 10]

Oh this is actually 2 planes that fly into the opposite directions but the camera caught them when they met in the air. Flying from the right to the left is a Mirage and flying from the right to the left is a Tornado!

Actually now it's been re-designated. It is the Su-47

[Sadico 1]

Su-47? Why did they change the designation? The Russian Air Force pretends to buy some?

Maybe...but AFAIK they still haven't purchased the Su-37...they went with the 35's instead. It probably signifies that it's "finished" and ready to graduate from prototype to operational aircraft. Whether or not the Russian air force will buy some remains to be seen, but they need a low-observable aircraft and this is supposed to use some stealth technology.

<span style='color:red'>*edit*</span>Nope...dosen't seem like it will be bought....I've done some searching on the new designation and everywhere it is still listed as a technology testbed for the next generation of fighters. Found this bit though:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">In early 2002 Sukhoi was chosen as prime contractor for the planned Russian fifth-generation fighter is called the PAK FA [ Perspektivnyi Aviatsionnyi Kompleks Frontovoi Aviatsyi - Future Air Complex for Tactical Air Forces]. This intermediate class twin-engined fighter will be larger than a MiG-29 and smaller than a Su-27. The new fighter is intended to be about the same size as the US F-35 JSF, with a primary air superiority mission and ground attack and reconnaissance being secondary missions.

LOL The Irony is hilarious . In one way you are very close, but not really

[Col. Kurtz 0]

Is it even an X plane? I have gone to a website that is totally dedicated to the American X planes, yet the X-5 was the closest match.

[Tovarish 0]

well.....it's hard to say without giving it away....it was and it wasn't

Let me know when you give up

Your perserverence shall earn you a visual hint in the form of another plane .

Take a close look at this one:

[Col. Kurtz 0]

Looks like a F-14 in Soviet Colours......

[brgnorway 0]

If you ever go to Greece, whatever you do - don't be too interested in fighter-planes!

[Tovarish 0]

Yep .....now go back to the "X-5", look at the plane, look at it's markings.....

<span style='color:red'>*edit*</span> BTW that F-14 was one of two given to the USSR courtesy of Iran.

[Col. Kurtz 0]

Are you saying that its a Russian prototype painted in US markings?
