F-WGVA Payen Pa 49 Katy - Le musée de l’Air et de l’Espace Paris Le Bourget 21 August 2015
According to Wiki - Roland Payen was a pioneer of tailess and delta winged aircraft. This all wood turbojet powered tailless aircraft was first flown in 1954. When the flight testing programme ended in 1958 Payen donated the aircraft to the Museum.

Super late entry (sorry). Thought I'd give the competition a try as I've just found out about it.
