What's that prototype, Shackleton-like, with a single tail and a bubble canopy? ? ?

This would be a great thread for all postwar captured exhibits in the UK!! Hoping for some in 'colour' too :)

Thanks!

Since a lot of this is very subjective....

It is one of those obscure prototype that most probably did not go any further because of its sheer ugliness.......

It's begging for a mouth paint job, eh? Or maybe a starring role as a Disney Planes character?

Wow, cool, a plane I never knew about...
Heck with Planes, would be a great plane for a Monty Python's Flying Circus animation! ;)
