My brother sent me a link to this video earlier. asking, what is the aircraft at front right (from our point of view)?

I recognise the Phantom, Buccaneer and 2-seater Hunter, who wouldn't, but what's this other one?

My first guess was an Etendard, but that has tailplanes half way up the fin, whereas this one has them at the bottom of the fuselage, which also rules out a MiG 17 or 19.

Sukhoi Su-7 (fitter) is the best I can come up with.

I'm reasonably local so will drive past and see if it's visible from the road.

How old is the video? I think the ‘mystery’ aircraft is an SU22, owned by Hawker Hunter Aviation. A quick look on their website suggests it has now been transferred to HHA’s home at Leeming.

The video only went up a day ago, but that doesn't tell you when it was shot. Also comments have been disabled.

I've looked on Google Maps but none of the aircraft are there.
