Here’s a fun one: Hawker P.1030.
Functionally, a Hawker Tempest redesigned to take the Rolls-Royce Eagle 46H eagle making ~4,000 hp+.
It was expected to be able to reach a top speed of 508 mph/819 kmh at 6,069 m with an eye-watering climb rate of 1951 ft/min or 32.51 m/s.
There’s a thread on the Secret Projects forum that has a bunch of interesting info on it, and it’s one of my personal favourite prop designs.
Concept of a casemate Leopard 2 tank destroyer.
I give you what happens when you leave the lads at BAE Warton locked in a room with too much tea.

Ah, a man after my own heart.
Always loved the craziness of this thing.
14" of composite on all sides for an equivalent of 26" steel. Vertically launched swingfires in the middle, and 2 mgs you can’t access to reload.
Oh, and a mobility of no.
Another insane product of the minds at Warton the P.1226
There’s also the various IKV-90 designs, I forget where but I saw a picture of all the drawings.
The Natter? I was thinking the same thing.
This one
Yeah the Plvv is cool, a real shame it never got built.

Long lost brothers
The S13 and B26 (Modified Fokker G.I Mercury’s ordered by Sweden but as the Netherlands were invaded the order had to be cancelled.)
Its funny, the B26 was a replacement order for the Bréguet 693 attack aircraft previously ordered from France that became inaccessible after France got invaded, interesting for the replacement to suffer the same fate.
