The search engine on here does leave something to be desired. I've tried some pretty obvious searches in the past and it's steadfastly refused to 'see' the thread I was looking for, even though boiler-plate procedures finally found them.
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! :)

I think that's an understatement  :banghead:

Simple one, recce nose.  The Sea Hawk had a pretty good ceiling but I'm sure longer wings wouldn't go amiss...

If the RAF ordered the P.1040, maybe itwould have been used for prone pilot studies like the Meteor.  Take the MPM prone Meteor and add the nose on the Sea Hawk instead.  It might be as easy to adapt a large drop tank.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

October's Aeroplane magazine has an article on the P.1072 - the P.1040 prototype fitted with a 2000lb thrust AS Snarler rocket.

This goes with large, multi-article feature on the SR.53 and SR.177.
