No idea what it is, but I like it.

Must be a project? Big hole at the front? > British?

No.

No engine stated but looking at its' year, I'm sure it would have been an afterburning turbojet.

edit: just found more info' and that's exactly what it was.

Found it, but I think the artist has it wrong? It should show a compound swept wing - of 60, 50 and 30 degrees?

The Supermarine Type 545?

You have found exactly the right picture, but it's incorrectly labelled.

The 545 was indeed compound sweep - wanna go up a few numbers ?

Wotcha doin'? Check the file properties of your image - it gives the correct designation.

Mate, if you want to talk more on the phone, please do so. Don't let me get in the way. This challenge business is not important and just a bit of fun. Wanna call it quits for today? I can look at your biplane later?
