Well yes, it is a Hawker with the Snarler rocket motor. I'm waiting for the specific aircraft model number..

Noyade 30th Sep 2011 05:02

Then maybe the P.1072...?

Hawker P.1072 -

D - - - - d, of course it is.


But that was not the end for the first prototype P.1040 (VP401), as in September 1949 it was refitted to house a Armstrong Siddeley Snarler rocket motor in the tail powered by a mix of liquid oxygen and water-methanol making a thrust of 2,000 lb

The first flight being on the 20/11/1950 using the "Snarler" rocket motor, the aircraft made only six flights under the power of the rocket engine, on the last flight there was a small explosion, which caused some minor damage, this was repaired, but VP401 never took to the air again.
But then I missed the picture caption….. :suspect:
