My guess is the turbocharged Lavochkin LA-7TK, although I can't find a picture of it....
Edit; Maybe not, does looks Russian though.

This type of aircraft had "reached the limit of its technical potential" by 1939 and the supercharged M-25VTK engine shown was a desperate attempt to improve performance and remain competitive at high-altitudes.
It is Russian, but not a Lavochkin.

This one wasn't too super duper; it never made it past mock up stage.
Edit: It was a LWF contender.

That's a fair stab, but not the Varsity mate.
This is not a British aircraft.
A Famous individual is responsible for this aircraft. He had a lot of money and became rather reclusive in later life....
