small deltawing a/c

Have asked this question else where on forum, but someone here might known.

Was in Skegness on Friday 18th March lunchtime. Saw aircraft thought it was the usual Tornado, but it had a small delta wing with stubby nose, looked like a flying shuttlecock in outline. Several thousand feet up up it headed out to sea did a couple of s turns then back to the west. Its engine? whistled rather than the usual roar. It was too manouvrable to be a Vulcan.

Reminded me of fifties type jet from DH or Bristol, or even a NASA flying body.

What is it?
