I guess that'll do DA, I was really after the two official names but thirty second on Goggle would give em 
so it's yours mate!
It is the Gloster E.1/44 or GA-2 Ace, and obviously not much liked by Bill Waterton !!

SinoTC -
I have just found my battered copy of Waterton's "The Quick and the Dead"
(paperback - 2/6d) - Page 10 - Prologue
" The E1/44, looking curiously frail and ugly, glittered in the pale March sunlight: a tubby, trunkless, silver-winged elephant of an aeroplane, the vast air intakes of her jet engine serving as ears. She had no official name, although Ace had been suggested. I called her the Gloster Gormless since she was so heavy for her single Nene engine "
Events seem to have proved him correct.
Back in about 1967 I worked with a chap who, as a rigger, was made redundant from the flight shed at Moreton Valence when Gloster folded up.
He had a similar opinion of Waterton as a miner might have of Margaret Thatcher.........
Personally, I re-read the last chapter every so often in the vain hope things might have improved.
Best Wishes

Tail's too pointy for a Dewoitine, looks more like an ANF-Mureaux 11summat ??
BTW, our email server is down, so if I owe you a reply, it won't be 'til Monday

Fair swap mate, thanks! I'm back at work now but will try and put something up shortly.
I just did that too with the Florov and checking which one it was and now I remember it's on my laptop at home 
Edit: It only went down a few hours ago, it was if you'd made a reply to mine that I would normally acknowledge!
Edit2: Just trying desperately to find something that not on Mel's list, have you seen the third line down?
Couldn't find where I got it from!

I watched Contagion last night Karlark...

I noticed Minnesota was one of the first places to be devastated by the virus. Glad you survived mate!
