Looks a lot less like a Sr-71 than first appears in that photo.

Thank you.

 

My first though was that it is KJ's precursor to Oxcart, called SUNTAN. SUNTAN would use two midwing or wingtop ramjets or even theoretical scramjets powered by liquid hydrogen and LOX supplemented by air-breather intakes at high Mach numbers. Then I wondered if Brits were on that programme , and this was in RAF livery for some purpose.
