Unidentified Jet

Whilst out walking in Swindon around 1200 ish yesterday, 3 May, we saw a jet heading North toward Fairford/Brize/Kemble in the descent and it didn't have that modern sound to it. I originally thought that it might be the Canberra but then realised it had clean wing lines, so single engined, and had a similar planform to the Supermarine Attacker. Having worked on JP3 and 5 I can discount that, knowing they have one at Kemble. I don't believe that it was a U2/TR1, wingspan was wrong in proportion to fuselage. Did anyone else see it, if so, can they tell me what it was. Sorry to start a thread for my own curiosity, but sometimes these things just keep "itching your craw".
