I can't see a plane there - is it on a carpentry bench behind the aeroplane?

Excuse the incorrect terminology i do apologise but "name that aircraft" doesnt have the same effect! lol

However it does look like its made from wood! But ive been assured it is real!!

Scotty, I'm 90% certain that the pic is of a mock-up (so not real) of the BAe P.110 (there were several iterations), which - to grossly oversimplify - is a precursor of what ultimately evolved into the Typhoon.
