J-Jet
That looks like someone's back yard. Is it a personal aircraft?

No , military museum-cluttered like little else. Those were fighter jets, used quite a bit in our terrible years fighting In Angola and elsewhere. I think it was called a falcon.

I think that it's a French-made "Mirage" fighter ...

Decided to do a little research. Although they might be similar in appearance, size, and maybe taste, loquats and kumquats are not related. The latter is a citrus fruit closely related to oranges and sometimes placed in the same genus (Citrus). Loquats on the other hand belong in the rose family, and the taste varies quite a bit depending on the cultivar, from sweet to puckery acidic.
Yup. We've got cumquats growing in the garden. They are perfect for making marmalade (which we do).

And both kumquat & cumquat are acceptable spellings.

K is for KICKBIKE, and that name is right on the down tube.

M is for MANDARIN DUCK, yet another bird that looks more invented than real.

You are right Jean-MIrage it is. Sorry, military history is not exactly my interest in life, and even less the names of the artillery. Visited the Museum just to see what is there. The parts of the museum that was more worth taking photos of was out of bounds.

O - Oxpecker, which I have used before, but seeing that I take shots of these birds regularly in Kruger Park, I'm sure you will all forgive me.

R is for RUDDY SHELDUCK. Somehow these ducks have a sweet-and-gentle face.
