Anyone know what kind of plane is featured in slide 34, the 1963 RAF aircraft?

There are some great shots here... I've seen many of these airshow acts live but there are only two in my personal hall of fame.

Bob Hoover flying the Shrike Commander (eight point rolls on the deck into a dead engine)

and the Thunderbirds flying the Super Sabre. The F-16 is a stunning performer and a joy to watch but the -100 was a real thunder bird.
