The Fairey Delta 2 is a mini-Concorde. With a completely triangular wing, it was the first aircraft to exceed 1000 mph, doing 1132 mph on 10th March 1956. Then it was fitted with Concorde's 'ogival' (wine glass) wing shape, narrow with sharp edges, and a droop snoot. It also had the tall undercarriage Concorde used.
