Answers to your questions:-
1950's straight wing jet (Mach warning at 0.8M)? This aircraft was late 1940s early 1950s it was a straight wing aircraft but not jet aircraft in the sense you mean.
It was a Military aircraft.
The aircraft was not from the de Haviland stable.

This is quite a challenge! Looks like a shoulder wing monoplane perhaps with a Parasol type bracing.
The Slingsby T21 has a more comprehensive instrument fit! So not even sure if it's a powered machine..
Can I just ask if it's currently a display in a public museum or simply stored in a hangar somewhere.

It is not from the European continent. It is a powered craft. It is on display, in a hangar, but as it is the only example extant, it does not fly.
Here is a real big clue, it was posted before but I missed seeing it listed.
The aircraft incorporated two technological firsts, one quite advanced for the time.
Yes, it is a monoplane with parasol bracing.

As windriver knows it, and MReyn24050 knows it, combined with the fact that it has been posted before, I have decided to reveal the aircraft if it isn't identified in 24 hours.

In defence of Bri the aircraft which is the subject of this challenge was listed by myself in the list of aircraft presented under it's manufacturer and not it's designer by which it is sometimes identified. hence the reason for it's duplicate posting. However as Bri says the aircraft incorporated two technological firsts, one quite advanced for the time. One of which I do not think has been repeated.
