Enlarged stabilizing float/fuel tank combination that extend aft and function as Küchemann carrots.  ;)

P.103, swept wing SR.A/1

P.122 projects, based on SR.A/1, single after-burning AS.65 Sapphire:
P.122/1, single-seat, tapered wing.
P.122/2, two-seat, swept wing.

P122/1 has always reminded me of a sucker fish.  Flip it upside down and use it as a basis for a model of the bottom feeding fish.  ;D
