Evansb is as close as makes no difference. The aircraft was the AW52G:

Taken on 3 Mar 1945, day after its first flight



G denoted glider, note no engine instruments or throttles in the cockpit. The AW52 was twice the size (AW52G wing span 53' 10", length 19' 4". AW52 wing span 90', length 37' 4") and had a pair of Nenes pushing it along. The AW52 was to have been a 1/2 scale proof of concept for a flying wing airliner. If you compare the figure in the first and last photos you'll get an idea of how big this was actually going to be!
