Gloster L-29 for the RAF

What if instead of the Jet Provost MK3 the RAF choose to go with The Aero L-29 as offered by Gloster.
Gloster built the L-29 under licence from Aero and fitted it with a R.R Viper 11 and M.B ejector seats.
Could it have looked like this ?
So come on then who has got a good name for this aircraft in RAF service ?

That's very cool!

As for the name, I see no reason that you couldn't just Anglicize it's real name from "Delfin" to "Dolphin"

Gloster Dolphin doesn't actually sound too bad when you think about it and I have a feeling that's what it would end up getting called around units regardless of any "official" name it might be given.

Great looking Dolphin! I've always loved the old silver/orange trainer scheme.

A beautiful little build and it does look gorgeous in that silver/dayglo scheme.
