No, WWII, prototype of a version of a plane that saw extensive service, though this version didn't see any.

Yeah, thought I might trick you guys longer if I went for a weird one, since I don't have knowledge of all of these strange planes you guys post all the time!

Specifically, the XF4U-3, which didn't enter service and which the -4 effectively outperformed.

Believe it or not, so is (or was) the Bristol Buckmaster - but I forgot it had Bristol Centaurus radial engines.
This looks a bit like the Westland Welkin, but I don't think it is .... hmm, thinks ...........

Terry, I think you are correct on the Welkan. I may be wrong but it sure looks like it.

That looks to be it! Kinda looks like a Canberra bomber mixed with a Mosquito.

It was a fighter, more particularly a high altitude fighter in competition with the Welkin.

The man from Hobart, Tasmania got it! Very good sir, your bacon is in the mail. Too bad it will be rancid by the time you get it.

Looks to me like a Bristol Brabazon, but I may be seeing things.
