It's one of the prototypes of the TSR-2, a RAF supersonic bomber. Although it was a fine aircraft, the program was cancelled in 1965.

TSR2 was probably marked the end of good home-grown Aircraft in the UK.  A great plane it is thought it would probably still be in service today although obviuosly at the end of its career. Only two ever built - don't know why but I just love it.

Look how it was built with servicing in mind - open a big door and voila - all your LRU's (Line Replaceable Units).
