It was the ejection seat which gave me the clue. It's a Martin-Baker Mk 1 seat, which still had the footrests, in contrary to the later ones who have leg restraints. Not many airplanes had this seat and that led me to the Westland Wyvern S4.
Another clue was the air brake at the wing trailing edge.

I have no idea who Sister Boniface is/was but this isn't an 'aerial carriage', it's a military machine.

Sister Boniface is a fictional character in a popular UK TV murder / mystery seies. Her preferred mode of transport is a Vespa scooter.

The cockpit is that of the Vickers Vespa.

This a closer shot of the 6-engine EWR VJ-101?
