'Tis British.

Described as being an "interceptor".

It does
Unrelated, as far as I can tell, but:
Similar size
Almost identical performance
Built just a year earlier
Almost identical armament
Only one of these was built

Developed later into a plane called Venom

911, how about some more hints?

The manufacturer also made rubber boots.

All right, with that, now I've got it. It was a total gimme, though.
It's a Vickers 151 'Jockey'.
Go again, 911, since you really stumped us! Excellent work there. I've found a lot of planes I didn't think anyone could identify, but I've tried to limit it to airplanes I could picture in my head when I thought of the name.

I have a friend who flies one of these for LIAT.
Without the Cerano de Bergerac nose (the plane, that is).
Not that my friend has a big nose either. She has lovely features.
I hope this isn't ANOTHER thread I've assassinated.

👍 ding ding ding 👍
I posted that because one just flew over on a very low and tight approach - I mean like under 1000 ft, full flaps (man, talk about area!), banked at about 30 degrees to turn onto final. Plus I'll be working on the C-17 beddown at Dover AFB in a few weeks!
Good to see a new face on the board! Your go, 5liter. Stump the experts...

You'll need Photoshop or MSPaint or some kind of graphics program. OR, you can just find one that is hosted on the web already, and link to it using the [ img] [ /img] tag. Put the URL of the image in between the two tags, and remove the extra spaces I typed inside the brackets.

I can't even see if that is a cargo or passenger plane. 
Neon - I can't believe the bank angle on that c-17 you posted

If anyone posting in this thread lived in the Bay Area, I am sure they would have.
