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.

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

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.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

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.

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!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
