Looks more like a Gannet canopy, possibly the rear one.
The "DTD" number suggests it's British, but there's probably someone here who can identify it from the other stamps.
 
I was going to suggest a Meteor, but I have to agree with the Gannet. It looks like a very close match.
But boy, what an ugly airplane !! A mishapen whale is what comes to mind, and it's supposed to fly ! Belly, nose, wings, tail, not one part of it is salvageable, looks-wise...
