My thoughts.
All white = experimental?
The vertical fin could be 'webbing' between the fuselage and exhaust?
Bell X-5?
Don't wear yourself out.

Evening Graeme,
No chance to to get back for a look last night mate, visitors!!
Is that the wing-root we see, if so I assume it's a delta. Similar to the Convair Delta Dart before it had the final boat-tail extension and revised exhausts! Other than that, no idea and not going to have much free time today !
So is it a delta ? Not a Canard? Is that a trace of the fin we see, if so it looks not to have much chord length, unless it's a change of colour that makes is look short. Pure turbojet, 1950's ?

Good afternoon Mel,
Sorry for the delay, just come out of a meeting
I've been rumbled it seems! Do you wanna give me a name?
Edit:
Going to be in the workshop and away from computer for most of the afternoon; therefore I'm going to give it to Mel now, I know he knows, beside there aren't any other eight engine craft with this configutration.
It is the Russian Ekranoplan "Lun" (Hen Harrier) project 903
Control goes to Mel

Evening Mel,
I think that this one does look like the Convair Sea Dart ??
I haven't quickly found a photo with this viewpoint, but I think I see a glimpse of the coloured tail stripes it carried at one time, the keel and a small drain-hole slot!
