This is a Soviet high-altitude fighter prototype.

I have not been able to ascertain whether this is the Sukhoi Su-1 or the Su-3, as my sources have differing opinions.

Neither aircraft became more than prototypes due to unreliable superchargers (no less than two were needed)

Sip is the failed Su-3.
I also cannot assure that the photo is not su-1, but the place from i take it, ensures that it is su-3.

You turn lame hawk!

and thanks for relive this thread!

Looks like a mini-Meteor... LOL

British ?

[SAS~Storebror]

British ?

Not quite.
Actually nothing of this plane is british, rather opposite: Certain parts of this aircraft were produced under license in U.K. later on.
