A few views, but no takers yet. OK, first clue - it's twin-engined.

I was going to say Grumman A-6 Intruder, but now I don't think so.

Canberra?

 

[Airframes]

Not a Canberra, but it is a jet. A double-edged clue - it might be seen in the night sky.......

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I'm pretty sure it's not this, but a Blackburn (Hawker Siddeley) Buccaneer S2B.

So, not an Intruder?

 

[woljags]

looks like a vampire to me

 

[Airframes]

Not a Buccaneer, Intruder or Vampire. But, like the Buc, the type was originally designed and built by another company, with this variation being built by a totally different organisation, for a different role. It's a two-seat aircraft ........

Phantom FGR ?

 

[Airframes]

Not a Phantom, but it is a British-built aircraft.

 

[T Bolt]

Meteor ?

 

[Airframes]

Glenn has it!
It's the Armstrong Whitworth built Meteor NF14, the twin-seat, radar-equipped night fighter - hence the reference to 'seen in the night sky'; Meteor, and night fighter.
This one was photographed at the Newark Air Museum, earlier this month.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

My knowledge didn't extend that far.

 

[woljags]

[T Bolt]

[Airframes]

My wild guess - Stearman ?

 

[T Bolt]

Not Stearman Terry

 

[Grampa]

Ryan PT-22 perhaps?

 

[T Bolt]

Not a PT-22 either
