Been asked on another forum the ID of that thing, apparently taken in Uganda in 1974. I've no idea, looks to me like a cross between a Javelin and a Hunter. This is the closest the OP came up wth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fouga_magister.jpg
Figured someone on here must know!

I love the L-29. Some company converts them to personal jets - for about the cost of 2 new Cessna 182's. They handle amazingly.
