It is indeed the Natter. (Why anyone would name a military aircraft after a mostly harmless set of snakes I don't know.) Here's a link to a site that gives a fair amount of information about it.

The Wikipedia page is pretty complete as well. A number of people seem to have devoted a lot of effort to figuring out how many of these were built and what happened to them in the end, which strikes me as an odd sort of hobby. It was a very interesting aircraft, though.

Well done, CF105.
