This one is a Aerospatiale SA341G Gazelle modified with a pointed nose to look like a Soviet Heli.

Here are the actual pictures of the modified helicopters...

The Dassault Mirage IV was a French jet-propelled supersonic strategic bomber and deep-reconnaissance aircraft. Developed by Dassault Aviation, the aircraft entered service with the French Air Force in October 1964. For many years it was a vital part of the nuclear triad of the Force de Frappe, France's nuclear deterrent striking force. The Mirage IV was retired from the nuclear strike role in 1996, and the type was entirely retired from operational service in 2005.

The RFB Fantrainer is a two-seat flight training aircraft which uses a mid mounted ducted fan propulsion system. It was developed by Rhein-Flugzeugbau GmbH (RFB) in Germany in the late 1970s and used by the German and Thai air forces. It won a competition in Germany beating the Pilatus PC-7 and Beechcraft Mentor as the best solution to the Luftwaffe's Basic Trainer Requirement. However, no orders were forthcoming as Germany had committed to buying US Fighters (F4 Phantom and F-104 Starfighter) which included a deal for pilot training in the USA. Lufthansa was also interested in the aircraft due to its jet-like handling. Users confirm it is very fuel-efficient and provided a true "jet feel" for a reasonable price. The Royal Thai Air Force used the FT400 and FT600 versions to train ab initio pilots who then went onto fly the Northrop F-5E fighter aircraft. In conjunction with the intended new production of the Fantrainer, initiated by the Fanjet Aviation GmbH in Germany, the Fantrainer 600 was renamed as "Fanjet 600"

Good going

Thanks and virtual Rasagolla goes to Rashid Sahab

OK now something a little more obscure. This image shows a French built version of a German WWII liaison/communication aircraft. Which famous WWII German fighter was this Luftwaffe communication aircraft based on?

Messerschmitt Bf 109

Correct! Nord 1002 shown above which is a French re-engined variant of the BF-108 Taifun, which is the 4 seater passenger variant of the BF-109. Rommel had his own instance of this aircraft.

OK now something a little more obscure (there were two variants of this prototype developed by the USAF in WWII, never made it to production), what were the names?

Vought XF5U Pancake

The Vought XF5U "Flying Flapjack" was an experimental U.S. Navy fighter aircraft designed by Charles H. Zimmerman during World War II. This unorthodox design consisted of a flat, somewhat disc-shaped body (hence its name) serving as the lifting surface.[1] Two piston engines buried in the body drove propellers located on the leading edge at the wingtips.
