The Saunders-Roe SR.53 was a prototype interceptor aircraft of mixed jet and rocket propulsion developed for the Royal Air Force in the early 1950s. Although its performance was promising the need for such an aircraft was soon overtaken by surface-to-air missile development consequently the project was cancelled after 56 test flights.
