SAAB Tunnan, the flying barrel. The Saab 29, popularly called Flygande tunnan ("The Flying Barrel"), was a Swedish fighter designed and manufactured by Saab in the 1950s. It was Sweden's second turbojet-powered combat aircraft, the first being the Saab 21R. Despite its rotund appearance, the J 29 was fast and agile, serving effectively in both fighter and fighter-bomber roles into the 1970s. Wikipedia article.

I don't think there's ever been a more aptly named aircraft than the "Tunnan" - Swedish for Barrel. The aircraft was one of four indigenous Saab-built fast jets which took part in the Scottish Airshow at the joint venues of seafront at Ayr and the nearby Prestwick Airport.
