This schematic is from an article in The Aeroplane entitled "Before The V Bombers". Looks pretty much like this one though.

I found this while cataloging a copy of the 1946 printing of Gas Turbines and Jet Propulsion for Aircraft, by G. Geoffrey Smith, M.B.E. into the museum's collection.

There's good coverage of it, and related designs, in Tony Buttler's book on British Experimentals of WW II.
