I have seen that picture somewhere. A total guess is a Farnborough 1956 show and its a Miles aircraft. What type I have no idea (right now)

Getting close Glider. SBAC show 1948. G-ALOI gathered dust in the F.G Miles hanger at Redhill for ten years until it was broken up for scrap in 1958.

Big clue-They tried to make a helicopter out of one of the airframes..


The Firth Helicopter.
 

My first post on this site... but the original looks like the Planet Satelite. Designed by a Major Heenan in the late 40s in the UK. It had structural problems.
 
Yep well done
Interesting to note that after 15 years in storage, it is now in use as a technology demonstrator, which shows how advanced the design was.

PS it was a photo I took at Farnborough, some years ago
