I would say that's a DH Vampire. However the date of pic taking seems to be incorrect. because the planes were intorduced in April 1945 and didn't get ready operationally until 1946. Judging by the markings it was a RAF Vampire.

Edit.. yep that's the RAF T11 Vampire two-seater trainer serial XD378 crashed at the Kai Tak , Hong Kong in 1955 due to the air brakes falure.

thanks. But Iran hadn't this plane. And they said that it's in Iran. Now, I have something to prove them they are wrong. (Only god knows how many more things like this one we have...).
 
To a certain extent , yes it is , I would say. However I can't imagine how to survive when the target was at the North Sea for instance. But if we would consider the boat as the Kamikaze then it is quite correct because it was the single-use boat. Also being spotted the guy didn't have any chance to reach the target rather.
