Sorry Clint. BEagle has it . It is indeed the Saunders Roe SR.53. This is the actual aircraft XD 145. The cockpit photograph dates September 1958.

BEagle you have control.
'twas the shape of the hood frame and the word 'Rocket' on the panel which gave the game away!
Someone else please as I will be off the air for a while.

Mike,
No heavy showers here in sunny downtown Essex, lovely evening so far.
Meanwhile, back to business. I'll open the bidding on this one with the Blackburn Beverly.

Mike,
I'm sure we've had the Brabazon - but your picture is marvellous. I've never seen it before and the idea of a Bristol Freighter as a chase aircraft is so wonderful I'm going to frame it. I flew in one in an air race once and we were beaten by a C-47 and a Heron.
