 Mmmmm .... Good one Lou . Well jumbled.

I can pick out two faces and what looks like a square tail and that's about it.

Square tail. Appears to be a jet pipe. Tail wheel. Sharp pointed nose no inlet or propeller.

Is it a Supermarine Attacker?

I shall keep this under my hat for a while if you don't mind Lou.

Excellent jumbling of the pieces.

I was looking at this when the First gen jets cook up started off.

Two manned prototypes built to prove the concept.

Cheers

Gordon

Looking at the fuselage, note the (P) for prototype. Gordon, your suggestion please.

GAF Pika - Two prototypes built under Project "C"  . Therefore C-1. 2nd Prototype is still extant.

The Pika was used to test and calibrate systems for the Jindivick- Target drone .

Pika is Australian indigenous for "flier" . Jindivick is for the "hunted one".
