When I saw the advert my first thought was it was one of these IAR-93s from open store at Craiova, Romania.

Cilit Bang Jet
Thanks Dr John
That’s the one, only question now is where was it filmed?

Best people to ask would be the ad agency involved, Havas Worldwide. Email:
[email]enquiries@havasww.com[/email]
But, IMO, it looks like a soundstage (not a “proper” hangar) and probably in a UK film studio (Elstree or Pinewood perhaps?)
What I want to know is – assuming a) it was real aircraft (not a mock-up) and b) it was filmed in the UK – where is that J-22 Orao now?

Cilit Bang Jet
At first glance I thought Jaguar, but looking closer it actually appears to be a Soko J-22 Orao.
I’d agree your identification: the Soko J-22 Orao does look very much like a Jaguar GR.3A from some angles….
(found on flicker)
Indeed, that was my first thought, but soon realised that the shape of the nose was wrong for a single seat Jaguar (too conical/pointed). Have a look here http://www.hrcappuccino.org/articles/okohodac/Orao.htm (Croatian text – but the web page is mostly pictures)
There’s a pic of the aircraft in question is this item http://www.marketingmagazine.co.uk/sectors/fmcg/article/1160367/Cillit-Bang-puts-Barry-Scott-back-TV-5m-push The makers of Cillit Bang are spending some £5 million on the ad campaign, so it would be quicker and cheaper to use a real aircraft than a full size model, built from scratch…
P.S. have just found the ad online too … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBAznAdF2pQ

Caught an advert on TV last night for Cillit Bang cleaner with some bloke sat in a single seater jet painted up in the Cillit Bang colours – does anyone know any background to this?
Thanks
Mark
I read on another forum that it was a James Bond film prop but I don’t know if that is true?
