Not real an G-10 (only the fuselage/ engine) ... it's the Avia C-10 (S-99), sign V-9 (later OK-BYA or OK-4381). The a/c was tested with the rockets in VLU Letnany in 1946/47 (for example Mjr. Jiri Manak on 02.10.46 seven take offs, 03.10. eight, 25.06.47 two). The pictures are well known since 70th years and often published (in Czech sources, for example in letectvi + kosmonautika).

Best regards
Rasmussen
