路I saw this plane at the Paris Air Show in Le Bourget in the 1990s. Hopefully, Antonov will find a way to rebuild it once this madness is over.

Unfortunately I can't remember what it is although " Argentinian" comes to mind which is probably rubbish ?
Any thoughts ?

Correct
As it looks like a French Air Force roundel and red tail tip I'd say @DoctorEvil is correct.
It's essentially the same aircraft, just two brothers from different mothers 馃榿.
Dornier manufactured the German ones, Dassault the French ones.
We actually had some operating in Australia recently but haven't dug too deep into them.

I actually did some "magic" with your image and got this 馃槈.
Photo by Tim Felce (Airwolfhound), not actually an Alpha Jet by @Alpha.
Edit: Just "uncorrected" Alphabet to Alpha Jet.

Alpha Jet - a few British contractors on the Tornado / MRCA project got involved in this development (all based in Munich / Munchen) . Your mention of Argentina is interesting. The one pictured is French but Dornier was also involved in the Pampa aircraft for Argentina which took a lot from the Alpha jet design..so there was a bit of a Cold War with UK contractors around 1982..due to that freeze in collaboration, I recall a story that an Alpha jet at a famous museum in Germany got raided and the control column was covertly removed by a group of Argentinians on a guided tour. Quick workers / all is fair in love and war I guess.. If I ever visit I will look in the cockpit and check ;0)

it would be really cool if they nailed on six CF6-80C2 or Pratt 4000鈥檚 as they would dramatically increase performance and fuel burn over the original vodka burners.

I do remember talking to a local about the aircraft that would rocket over the lake and he did mention that they were on training exercises ?

路Not a recovery operation. Just a pack down after an Army Air Corp recruitment drive in a UK town I saw this week. The Gazelle has been around fifty years and is still in service. The infamous Falklands Gazelle friendly fire incident shows how important it is for the services to coordinate operations and also how long it takes for truth to emerge in war situations when things go wrong.
