Wew... Thanks for reminding me of that bird !
Let's say we had enough of trying to developp better/more efficient/ more powerfull engines and went straight to sticking a Rocket engine in a bird to achieve max speed ^^'
I could picture the meeting where they tried to explain that lool... ^^'
Smthg like:
- But it too much crazy to do...
-Crazy yes, and to do, yes also, we can do it...
-You can do it ?
-Yes we can....
-You crazy mofo can't stop to amaze me with your crazy idea... okay go ahead you have X-months to prove it and then we'll see... ^^'

Something that couldn't happen nowadays though... Because of needed certitudes before launching a project...

>Tomcat clones and an Ace Combat worthy Camera led aircraft, P.125
Regarding that, I absolutely was not aware of any of this...
Your pic might be from Ace Combat, perhaps even basesd from the Brit design you mention I don't know, I must say, I don't really think so because of the overview design, but I'll have a look at the P.125 or British "Tomcat clone"

Ps: Speaking of British sweet design, please just glare at this beautifully crafted Bomber @_@°

The Brits were also so god damn good at designing planes... They were so good at it, it was almost awkward (in a good fashion hehe) ^^'
I won't even speak about the roaring of the Merlin's Engines...
Spitfire (Pun intended from them but so beautifully crafted once again) and Lancasters...
