I've never seen one of theese before. Looks like a relative of the ill-fated DeHaviland Comet passenger jets.

OK, it's not a DeHaviland but it is British, the last of three types of V bombers produced in the mid 1950s, the Handly-Page Victor. Before it came the Vickers Valiant first and the Avro Vulcan second. They were designed as strategic nuclear bombers but were pretty much obsolete by the time the Victor came along. This is still a pretty cool looking plane.
