HP80 was the designation for what eventually became the Victor. The test aircraft based on the Supermarine Attacker was the HP88. It didn't survive long, breaking up in mid air while preparing for the 1951 Farnborough air show, and apparently didn't really contribute to the development programme as by that time the full size prototypes were well under way. The second research aircraft was the HP87, a half size glider.
