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.
