It looks like the Boulton-Paul P.120 with those fat delta wings.

WB192 would fit an early Hawker Hunter around 1951-52, but the number was not issued. Which worked out for Wells-Brimtoy who created this cool looking toy!
It may have been their 192nd toy design for all we know. They were made in Walthamstow until the 1960s.

    Just looked up the Boulton-Paul P.120, looks good 

I hear people pay surprising amounts of money for old tin plate toys.

Something looks rather similar here.

They certainly do, especially if in pristine condition and in the original packaging. Must admit I can never quite see the pricing structure of either tinplate toys or old lead soldiers. However I suppose if someone wants something badly enough.

They are very sweet  , nice to see 

A tinplate collector used to attend our Model Car Club meetings.  He once brought along a truck mounted excavator toy he had paid $17,000 for.  It was one of three remaining and the other two were in museums.

Cool toys ! Would have been fun to have as a kid with an imagination !

Back in 1976, he fit in a PIK-20 glider.

Hmmm, I've been in one too, and I can imagine they'd have needed a giant shoehorn to lever him out! It's a pretty slim aeroplane!
